In Trinidad there was a family with much confusion as you will see,
There was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown,
He wanted to get married - have a wife of his own,
He found a young girl who suited him nice,
He went to his papa to seek for advice,
His papa said son, I have to say no, That girl is your sister but your mama don't know!
Woe it's me, shame and scandal in the family,
Woe it's me, shame and scandal in the family,
A week went by and the summer came down,
Soon the best girl on the island was found,
He went to his papa to name the day,
His papa his head and to him he did say,
You can't marry that girl, I have to say no,
That girl is your sister but your mama don't know,
Woe it's me, shame and scandal in the family x4,
He went to his mama, he covered his head,
He told his mama what the papa just said,
His mama she laughed, she said, go man go, your daddy ain't your daddy but your daddy don't know,
Woe it's me, shame and scandal in the family,
Oh yeh, woe it's me, shame and scandal in the family,
Woe-woe it's me, shame and scandal in the family,
Woe-woe it's me, shame and scandal in the family
