LYRICS

Intro

Hey mister pan man
Listen to this, listen to this
Hey mister pan man
We moving to this, moving to this
Hey mister pan man
We jamming to this, jamming to this
Hey mister pan man
This one is special

Verse 1

A write this melody
This sweet sweet melody
Melody for the steel pan
Melody for the steel band
A song that will be right
A musical delight
Melody for the steel pan
Melody for the steel band
And when they play this melody
A want you to listen carefully
To the musical display
Coming from the steel pan man
The steel band men

Chorus

Play tenor pan play
Double second all them guitars play
Double tenors play
Triple seconds quadraphonics play

And the base line sounding sweet
With a pulsating beat
Follow by the rhythm section
Keeping up the jam
A say the bass line sounding sweet
With a pulsating beat
Follow by the rhythm section
Keeping up the jam
Play and play and play and play
A say to play pan man
Play pan man play
Play and play and play and play
A say to play a say to play
A say to play play play play

Verse 2

A God sent melody
That was handed down to me
Melody for the steel pan
Melody for the steel band
A work all day and night
Just to get it right
Melody for the steel pan
Melody for the steel band
Ah want the pan fraternity
To listen carefully
To the pan man ramajay
This sweet sweet jam
This steel pan jam

Chorus

Verse 3

Ah waving the big flag
Down in the big yard
Waving for the steel pan
Waving for the steel band
The crowd can’t get enough
Because the rendition tough
Melody for the steel pan
Melody for the steel band
And when we waving
This big flag
Watch the pan man
Get on bad
Al yuh get out the way
Watch the wave while the play
Watch the wave while they play
Watch the wave

Chorus

New York-based soca songster Choklet was born in the twin-island country of Trinidad and Tobago. Choklet migrated to the United States where she pursued her studies in nursing.  At an early age, her family and friends recognized her creative talents.

Choklet’s first album Hot, generated hits like La Diabless, Soca to Mambo, Lies, and many more. Her single Move followed, and indeed had everyone ‘moving’ all over Europe and the Caribbean. For 2004, Choklet delivered Jook Na and in 2005 came Miami Vibes, still hitting the airways.

The songstress continued to please, and in 2008 collaborated with Hayden Lynch for the first time on the track Musical Invention. The pair joined up again in 2011 for Children You Must Love Your Mother.  A third match-up for the 2012 Panorama season has resulted in Steel Pan Melody.


Hayden Lynch

Hayden Lynch hails from Trinidad W.I, where he was born in 1957 in the village of Tunapuna, east Trinidad. At age five he started to play Pan on an old tenor pan in his back yard. The first song he learned, which was self-taught, was “Somewhere My Love.”

Lynch’s first experience of playing in a steelband, “Klondyte,” was when he was just nine. He went on to play for many others orchestras such as Delphonic, Curepe Scherzando, Sforzata and Desperadoes just to name a few. In 1990 he migrated to the USA and I continued playing pan with ADLIB and Despers USA.

Steel Pan Melody is his third song with Elva King. In 2008 she sang Musical Invention, 2011 - Children You Must Love Your Mother and for 2012, this track, Steel Pan Melody.
