Scandale dans la famille

Sacha Distel Sacha Distel

Family Scandal

In Trinidad, way down in the Caribbean
In Trinidad, lived a family scene
There was Mama and Papa
And the eldest son
Who, at forty years old
Was still not married
One day he found the girl he wanted
And said to his father: 'I want to marry her'
Alas, my boy, alas you can't
Because that girl is your sister
And your mother doesn't know
Oh Papa, what a tragedy
What a great tragedy for me
Oh Papa, what a scandal
If Mama knew
Two years passed and the boy, one evening,
Came to his father and said, full of hope:
'The school teacher wants to marry me'
But the poor father looked overwhelmed:
My son, you can't
You can't do that
Because that girl is your sister
And your mother doesn't know!
Oh Papa, what a tragedy
What a great tragedy for me
Oh Papa, what a scandal
If Mama knew
Ten years later, he came back all excited
And said to his father, 'Guess what I saw!'
In the plantation,
They just hired
Over fifty girls
From the nearby village
Alas, my poor child
The Gods are against you
All these girls are your sisters
And your mother doesn't know
Fed up, he went disgusted
To tell his mother the whole truth
His mother started laughing
And said: 'Don't worry
Your father is not your father
And your father doesn't know'
Oh Mama, what a joy
What a great joy for me
Oh Mama, what a scandal
If Papa knew
