Woe, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
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
Wanted to marry, have wife of his own
He met a young girl who suited him nice
He went to his papa to ask his advice
His papa said, "Son, I have to say no
That girl is your sister but your mama don't know"
Hey, worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
Hey, oh, worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
A week went by, the summer came down
Soon another girl on the island he found
He went to his papa to name the day
His papa shook his head and this time he did say
"You can't marry this girl, have to say no
That girl is your auntie but your granny don't know"
Hey, oh, worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
Hey, oh, worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
Now he went to his mama, covered his head
And told his mama what his papa had said
His mama she laughed, she said, "Go, son, go
Your daddy ain't your daddy but your daddy don't know"
Oh, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
Hey, oh, worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
You know it worries, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
Hey, oh, worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
You know it worries, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
Hey, oh, worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
You know it worries, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
