Scandale dans la famille
Sacha Distel
Scandal in the family
Who, papa, what a misfortune
What a great misfortune for me
Who, Dad!
What a scandal if Mom knew that!
In Trinidad, way down in the West Indies
In Trinidad lived a family
There was the mom and dad
And the eldest son
Who at 40 was still not married
One day he found the girl he wanted
He said to his father I would like to marry her!
Alas my boy
Alas you can't!
Because this girl is your sister and your mother doesn't know it!
Who, papa, what a misfortune!
What a great misfortune for me!
Who, Dad!
What a scandal if Mom knew that!
Two years later: He was very moved by it
The schoolmistress wants to marry me
Alas my son
Alas you can't!
Because this girl is your sister and your mother doesn't know it!
Alas my child alas you cannot
Because this girl is your sister and your mother doesn't know it!
Ten years later, he was very moved to tell his father
Guess what I saw
We just hired people on the plantation
More than fifty girls from the neighboring village
Alas my child the Gods are against you
Because these girls are your sisters and your mother doesn't know it
Who, papa, what a misfortune
What a great misfortune for me
What a scandal if Mom knew that!
At the end of his tether, he would have been disgusted to tell his mother
The whole truth
His mother laughed and said to him
Don't worry about it
Your father is not your father!
And your father doesn't know it!
Who mom what happiness!
What a great joy for me!
What a scandal if Dad knew that!
