Shame & Scandal [Polish translation]

Woe is me, shame and scandal in the family

Hey, woe is 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

Who wanted to marry and a 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, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family

Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family

A week went by and the summer came down

And 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, I have to say no

That girl is your aunty but your granny don't know"

Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family

Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family

Now, he went to his mama and covered his head

He told his mama what his papa had said

His mama, she laughed, she said, "Go man, go

Your daddy ain't your daddy but your daddy don't know"

Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family

Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family

Hey, worries, it worries me, shame and scandal in the family

Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family

Hey, hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family

Hey, hey, hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family
