Worries is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, it worries 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, have wife of his own
He met a young girl who suiting 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, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family

A week went by and the summer came 'round
And soon another girl on the island he found
He went to his papa to name the date
But papa shook his head and to him he did say
You can't marry this girl, I have to say no
This girl is your aunty, but your granny don't know
Oh, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family

Now he went to his mama and cover his head
And told his mama what his papa had said
His mama she laughed, she say, go son, go
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know
Oh, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
You know it worries, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
You know it worries, it worries me
Shame and scandal in the family
