Trinidadian singer Sir Lancelot wrote "Shame and Scandal in the Family" for a Hollywood movie titled I Walked with a Zombie (1943). In the movie, the song conveys local gossip about a prominent family in a Caribbean island, in keeping with the tradition of calypsos about upper-class scandals. Lancelot recorded "Shame and Scandal in the Family" in the late 1940s; it was subsequently recorded by folksong interpreters Burl Ives and Odetta. It was also later recorded by Peter tosh, produced by Coxone Dodd

(... and evrybody else and they brother apparently, i found versions from about 5 different people... )

Shame & Scandal in the Family
Sir Lancelot
Woe is me, shame and scandal in the family (repeat)

In Trinidad, there was a family, much confusion as you will see
It was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
Wanted to marry and have wife of his own
Found a young girl, who suited him nice
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

Woe is me, shame and scandal in the family (repeat)

A week went by and the summer came round
Soon the best cook in the islands he found
He went to his papa, to make a day
His 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

Woe is me, shame and scandal in the family (repeat)

Went to his mama, covered his head
And told his mama, what his papa had said
His mama she laughed she says, go man go
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know

Woe is me, shame and scandal in the family (repeat)
Woe is me .....
