Madness Lyrics

[Sammy Snake]

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics to 'Shame and Scandal' by Madness - it's their new single featured on 'The Dangerman Sessions' album and I believe it was originally performed by Lord Tanamo.

Shame And Scandal (in The Family)
Sonneries de Madness
Hits 174
------------------------------------------------------------------------
woh is me, shame in scandal in the family.
woh is me, shame in 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 be married, have wife of his own.
He found the young girl, who suiting him nice,
He went to his papa to ask his advice.
The Papa said "Son, I have to say no,
That girl is your sister, but your Mama don't know."

woh is me, shame in scandal in the family.
woh is me, shame in scandal in the family.

A week went by and the summer came down
And soon the best cook in the island he found.
He went to his Papa to name the day.
The Papa shook his head and to him he did say,
"You can't marry that girl I have to say no,
That girl is your sister, but your Mama don't know."

woh is me, shame in scandal in the family.
woh is me, shame in scandal in the family.

The years went by, the boy wished he was dead.
He found seventeen girls and still wasn't wet.
He went to his Papa, his Papa said: "No,
those girls are all your sisters, but your Mama don't know."

woh is me, shame in scandal in the family.
woh is me, shame in scandal in the family.

He went to his Mama and cover his head,
We told his Mama what his Papa has said.
His Mama she laughed, and said "Go man go,
Your Daddy ain't your Daddy, but your Daddy don't know."

woh is me, shame in scandal in the family.
woh is me, shame in scandal in the family.
