Wohohoho, it's real, shame and scandal in the family
Wohohoho, it's real, shame and scandal in the family
In Trinidad, there was a family, much confusion as you will see
It was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
Wanted to marry and have wife of his own
Found a young girl, who suited him nice
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
Wohohoho, it's real, shame and scandal in the family
Wohohoho, it's real, shame and scandal in the family
A week went by and the summer came down
Soon the best cook in the islands he found
He went to his papa, to make a day
His papa shook 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
Wohohoho, it's real, shame and scandal in the family
Wohohoho, it's real, shame and scandal in the family

Went to his mama, and thought what he said
And told his mama, what his papa had said
His mama she laughed she says, go man go
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know
Wohohoho, it's real, shame and scandal in the family
Wohohoho, it's real, shame and scandal in the family
Wohohoho, it's real, shame and scandal in the family
Ooh [oh], it's real, shame and scandal in the family
Ooh, it's real, shame and scandal in the family [mmmh]
Ooh, it's real...
