Shame and scandal

This is a song I really like, it's called 'Shame and scandal', by Madness. It is one of these songs that always cheer you up, so here I leave the lyrics!

I say oh, misery,
shame and scandal in the family
Oh, misery,
shame and scandal in the family

Down in Trinidad there was a family
with much confusion as you will see
A mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
He wanted to marry and have a wife of his own

He found a girl, she suited him nice
He went to his father to ask his advice
His father said: 'Son, I have to say no,
the girl is your sister but your mama don't know!'

Oh, misery,
shame and scandal in the family
I say oh, misery,
shame and scandal in the family

Oh, then a weeks went by and the summer came down
Soon the best girl on the island he found
He went to his papa to make it a date
His papa shook his head and to this, he did say:
'You can't marry that girl, I have to say no,
'cause the girl is your sister but your mama don't know!'

Oh, misery,
shame and scandal in the family
I say oh, misery,
it's shame and scandal in the family

He went to his mama, he covered his head
He told his mum what his father had said
His mother, she laughed, she said: 'Go, man, go,
your daddy ain't your daddy but your daddy don't know!'

Oh, misery,
it's shame and scandal in the family
Oh, misery,
shame and scandal in the family

I say oh, misery,
shame and scandal in the family
I say oh, misery,
shame and scandal in the family

Well, here you have the clip!
