[Refrain]
Wau, wau, wau, wau is me
A-shame and scandal in the family
Wau, wau, wau, wau is me
A-shame and scandal in the family
[Verse 1]
In Puerto Rico there was family
With more confusion, take it from me
There was a mama and a papa with one child alone
Who wanted to be married and have a wife of his own
So he went to the papa, the papa said: "No
That gal is your sister but your mama don't know"
[Refrain]
Wau, wau, wau, wau is me
A-shame and scandal in the family
Wau, wau, wau, wau is me
A-shame and scandal in the family
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
So he continued searching the rest of his life
Because he really needеd a wife
He meet a wonderful girl with lovlеy figure
But afraid to consult his dear father
He met a lovely duckie which was twice as nice
He fly to the papa to get his advice
When the papa see the girl, he shout : "Oh no
That girl is your sister but your mama don't know!"
[Refrain]
Wau, wau, wau, wau is me
A-shame and scandal in the family
Wau, wau, wau, wau is me
A-shame and scandal in the family
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
So he went to the mama, the mama shook she head
When she found out what her husband had said
So she paused for a moment undecidedly
This time, the boy waitin' patiently
Then the mama she laughed and said: "Go, man, go
Your daddy ain't your daddy but your daddy don't know!"
[Refrain]
Wau, wau, wau, wau is me (Wau, wau, wau)
A-shame and scandal in the family (Oh, yo, yo)
Wau, wau, wau, wau is me
A-shame and scandal in the family
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Well the moral of my song is what you do
Finally will catch up with you
And don't you underestimate the woman brain
Otherwise, believe me, you'll be insane
[Outro]
Wau, wau, wau, wau is me (Wow!)
A-shame and scandal in the family (Wow!)
Wau, wau, wau, wau is me
A-shame and scandal in the family
Wau, wau, wau, wau is me
A-shame and scandal in the family
