LYRICS

Verse 1
There is a craze going-around today
And it’s contagious in every way
One and all
In de bacchanal
And it gives me pleasure to say
Pan is de ting that they want to play

Verse 2
Like a pandemic around de world
Pan captivate every boy and girl
In Africa
And America
Well they say they can’t stay away
Pan is de ting that they want to play

Bridge
It catch de school children
And de senior citizen
Big time musician
And even dem politician

Doctors and lawyers
Bankers and school teachers
They leave work and run away
Just to find some time to play

Verse 3
Panists come down here from near and far
They want to beat for panorama
De revelry
And de synergy
With sweet music to ramajay
Pan is de ting that they come to play

Chorus 2
It charm de school children
heal de senior citizen
Big jazz musician
And even dem politician

Doctors in the brew
Bankers and teachers too
They leave work and run away
Just to find a pan to play

Verse 4 
Ask anybody and you’ll agree
Pan is a gift from the Almighty
It pick you up
When your spirit drop
And your head like you tootoolbay
Pan is de ting that you have to play

It pick you up
When your spirit drop
And your head like you tootoolbay
Pan is de ting that you have to play

‘Pan is the Ting’ is Harry Best’s first attempt at writing a complete tune for Panorama. Two years ago he collaborated with calypsonian Crazy and producer Phil Hawkins on the Panorama tune Pan Wisdom.’  Harry was the lyricist.

Harry is no stranger to pan. A native of St. Lucia in the Caribbean, Harry has been one of the top providers of pan music to patrons all over northern California for three decades. He has founded steelbands, conducted steel drum classes and promoted steel drum events.  

‘Pan is the Ting’ is a cut on an upcoming album that features the collaborated efforts of Harry and producer/panist Phil Hawkins. The album is expected to be released in the spring of 2011.
