Verse 1
I don’t agree with Pan Trinbago and
dem, Letting pan men play songs
from long ago It certainly,
stifling musical gems The
fountain of creativity running low Annually we
bring, brilliance, Novelty to
sing and dance Fresh as the dawn,
music
is born, Pick one and carry on The
key to the Panorama, Is the annual
turnover, Each year brings its own
vintage and nostalgia.
Chorus
So
we won’t get This Feeling Nice or no
Rainorama,
No more Dudu Yemi, even
the Wrecker, 67 or
Pandora Not even
High Mass or Hammer Unknown band,
Jericho or Rebecca The
Woman on the
Bass, in Pan Lamentation
She was
First in the Line, with Sweet Pan Battle Zone, Savannah Party
Before
the Bull drop on Somebody Take
Musical Vengeance, Play a new song
for we!
Lavway 1
We doh want no
Retrorama, We want we Panorama,
Or leh we bring back the long time
drums, dat had the caustic soda. No
more Retrorama, We want Panorama,
Or we going back and beat we pan,
Inside of Globe Theatre.
Verse 2
This Retro vibe,
is taking over
culture The biggest party now is a
Back in Times I cyah subscribe,
to this regressive order Composers’
royalties now nickels and dimes. Long time the radio, oh yeah
Jam new calypso, whole day Pan man was
glad, they listening hard And
select one for the yard. Now every
last pan buffoon Copy Boogsie
with own tune The others digging up
songs as old as the moon.
Chorus
Lavway 2
We doh want no Retrorama
We want we Panorama Or leh we go
back to pitchoil tin, Or the dustbin
cover. No more Retrorama We
want Panorama Or leh we form back
the Red army And send them back Guyana.
Verse 3
At the Pan
Awards, during
the month of August Yuh honour
tuners, arrangers and pioneers No
one applaud, the composers among us. Even friends of the steelpan, women
in steel were there. Frankly this
retro era, Disrespecting, Kitchener. And all other men, who write for the
pan, Dem classics that make yuh
band. Is high time Pan Trinbago, Put
the lid on the Retro, And rebuild
the bridge between Pan and Kaiso.
Chorus
Lavway 3
We doh want no
Retrorama We want we Panorama Or leh we play with one stick Like the
old pioneers. No more Retrorama, We
want Panorama Or leh we Retro the
Prize Money, With the Tea Cup and
Saucer
We doh want no
Retrorama We want we Panorama! (5
