[Verse 1]
In Jamaica, there was a family
With much confusion as you will see
There was a mama and a papa
A boy who was grown
Wanting to marry, have a wife of his own
He found a young girl who suited him nice
He went to his papa to ask his advice
The papa said, "Son, I've got to say no"
"That girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
[Chorus]
Oh misery, shame and scandal in the family
Oh misery, shame and scandal in the family
[Verse 2]
When the weeks went by
Summer came down
Soon the best hook and the island he found
He went to his papa to make a date
His papa shook his head and to him, he will say
"Boy, you can't marry this girl, still got to say no
The other girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
[Chorus]
Woah misery, shame and scandal in the family
Woah misеry, shame and scandal in the family
[Verse 3]
Well hе went to his mommy, he covered his head
He told his mommy what his papa had said
Well, the mommy she laughed, she said
"Go man, go, your daddy ain't your daddy"
"But your daddy don't know"
[Outro]
Woah misery, shame and scandal in the family
Woah misery, shame and scandal in the family
Woah misery, shame and scandal in the family
Woah misery
