LYRICS

Verse 1

Is a unique Instrument
With great refinement
Oh yeah the Pan is excellent
With tuners getting little rest
Perfection being their quest
Ellie, Tony, Bertie, Spree
Butch and Guppy
In the panyard
Working so hard
Getting the note right, making it tight
All day and night
Man they sweating
While they sinking
They eh thinking about eating
While they blending.

Chorus

Panman you keep playing
And keep on improving
Yeah the sky is the limit
Success wouldn’t come if you quit
Play on Mr. Panman, play your Pan
Play on Mr. Panman
Play on Mr. Panman, play your Pan
Play on Mr. Panman.

Verse 2

With great tonal quality
And played superbly
Pan has a great identity
Just give it a sweet melody
Blended with nice harmony
You can’t find a better sound
Than the steeldrum
Blend a tenor
With a guitar
Add a cello oh so mellow
Seconds follow
With a nice strum
Add the iron giving rhythm
Nah it’s too slow
Change the tempo.

Chorus

Bridge

Play on Mr. Panman, play on,
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on.

Verse 3

Why only carnival time
We think pan is fine?
It really does confuse meh mind
We have to give respect to Pan
Embrace and encourage the Pan man.
A commitment must be met
Or we gonna soon regret
If you ain’t sure
They deserve more
And you don’t think this is unfair,
You not thinking clear
All them nice runs
Great progressions
So amazing entertaining
scintillating.

Chorus

Bridge

Repeat Bridge

Now after panorama
We must really care
We must preserve our culture
So doh leave the steel band behind
The music is good any time
Let the Panmen play their role
Playing music from their soul.
The pan movement and government,
Please be clever, get together
Share an idea
While you fighting
and bickering
Some believe that Pan is dying
But they lying.

Chorus
