Madness - Shame and Scandal lyrics

Artist: Madness

album: The Dangermen Sessions, Vol. 1


I say, oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
Down in Trinidad there was a family
With much confusion, as you will see
A mama, and a papa, and a boy who was grown
He wanted to marry and have a wife of his own
He found a girl, she suited him nice
He went to his father to ask his advice
His father said, "Son, I have to say no
The girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
Oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
I say, oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
Then a week went by and the summer came down
Soon the best girl on the island he found
He went to his papa to make it a date
His papa shook his head and to this he did say
"You can't marry that girl, I have to say no
'Cause the girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
Oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
I say, oh, misery
It's shame and scandal in the family

He went to his mama, he covered his head
He told his mum what his father had said
His mother, she laughed, she said, "Go man, go
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know"
Oh, misery
It's shame and scandal in the family
Oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
I say, oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
I say, oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
