Somebody better put you back in your place
You keep saying you’ve got something for me.

You’ve been messing where you shouldn’t have been messing
and now someone else is getting all your best.
These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
one of these days these boots are going to walk all over you.
You keep lying, when you ought to be truthing
and you keep losing when you ought to not bet.
You keep saming when you ought to be changing.
Now what’s right is right, but you ain’t been right yet.
These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
one of these days these boots are going to walk all over you.
You keep playing where you shouldn’t be playing
and you keep thinking that you´ll never get burnt.
Ha!

and what you know you ain’t HAD time to learn.
These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
one of these days these boots are going to walk all over you.
I say oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
Woe, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
Down in Trinidad there was a family
With much confusion as you will see
A mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
He wanted to marry and have a wife of his own
He found a girl she suited him nice
He went to his father to ask his advice
His father said: « Son, I have to say no,
The girl is your sister, but your mama don’t know »
Oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
I say oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
Then a week went by and the summer came down
Soon the best girl on the island he found
He went to his papa to make it a date
His papa shook his head and to this he did say
« You Can’t marry that girl I have to say no
Cause the girl is your sister, but your mama don’t know »
Oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
I say Oh, misery
It’s shame and scandal in the family
He went to his mama, he covered his head
He told his mum what his father had said
His mother she laughed,
she said: « Go man, go
Your daddy ain’t your daddy, but your daddy don’t know »
Oh, misery
It’s shame and scandal in the family
Oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
I say oh, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
I say oh, misery
