Madness - Shame & Scandal


TezMann
I say: oh, misery ! Shame and scandal in the family!
I say: oh, misery !. Shame and scandal in the family!

Vers 1:
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,
he wanted to marry a wife by his own.

He find 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!

Refrain:
I say: oh, misery ! Shame and scandal in the family, hey!
I say: oh, misery ! Shame and scandal in the family!

Vers 2:
A week went by, the summer came down,
soon another girl on the island he found.

He went to his Papa to make a date.

His Papa shook his head and this time he did say:
You can't marry that girl, have to say no,
that girl is your sister, but your mother don't know! Hey!

I say: oh, misery ! Shame and scandal in the family, hey!
I say: oh, misery ! Shame and scandal in the family!

Bridge + Tonartwechsel (2 Takte):

Vers 3:
Now he went to his Mama, he covered his head,
and told his Mama what his father had said.

His Mama, she laughed, she said: Go, son, go!
Your Daddy ain't your Daddy, but your Daddy don't know!

Refrain:
I say: oh, misery ! Shame and scandal in the family, hey!
I say: oh, misery ! Shame and scandal in the family!
