This is a cover of Sir Lancelot's Shame and Scandal in the Family, originally written for the 1943 movie
"I Walked with a Zombie", the lyrics have been rearranged by a number of artists over the years but the song
is largely unchanged and has since become an international classic.
Mike P's Version is a bit more acoustic oriented, and in turn makes for a great campfire jam. Let's go!

CShame and scandal in the Dfamily
GWoe, woe is Bmreal
CShame and scandal in the Dfamily

In GTrinidad there was a Bmfamily
With mCuch confusion as yDou will see

He wCanted to marry, have a Dwife of his own
GFound a young girl that Bmsuited him nice
CWent to his papa to aDsk his advice
His pGapa said: "Son, I hBmave to say no,
This gCirl is your sister, but your mDama don't know"
[Chorus]
GWoe, woe is Bmreal
CShame and scandal in the Dfamily
GWoe, woe is Bmreal
CShame and scandal in the Dfamily
[Verse 2]
A weGek went by and the sumBmmer came 'round
CSoon the best cook in the isDland he found
He weGnt to his papa to naBmme the day
His pCapa shook his head and to hDim did say
"You canG't marry this girl, I have Bmto say no
This gCirl is your sister, but your mDama don't know"
[Chorus]
GWoe, woe is Bmreal
CShame and scandal in the Dfamily
GWoe, woe is Bmreal
CShame and scandal in the Dfamily

He Gwent to his mama and he Bmheld his head
And tCold his mama what his paDpa had said
His mGama she laughed, she say, "GBmo man, go
C* D*
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know."
