Verse
1
Panist preparing
for battle
In savannah
Making ready all their ammo
For savannah
Tuners touching up day and night
Making sure every note sound right
Each band has its unique sound
For action on the battle ground
Tonal quality and power
Each band has to deliver
War in de savannah
For this year Panorama
Chorus
War in de savannah
War for Panorama
Sweet music and melody
Like heavy artillery
When the troops dig in on de stage
Sweet music must be in a rage
Arrangers plan strategies
As they practice vigorously
(War in de savannah
War for Panorama) x 2
Verse
2
Marshalls drill
their subordinates
In savannah
Letting up could cause them their
fate
For savannah
The recruits are practicing hard
For their tour up in de Big Yard
You could feel all the energy
Coming from everybody
North and Grand stand up on their
feet
Jumping, shouting “De music sweet!”
Supporters raising their hand
Saying “Wetting for every band.”
Chorus
Bridge
De drums of war beating, beating
De sounds of war blaring, blaring
De fires of war blazing, blazing
De flags of war waving, waving
Verse 3
Rhythm and tempo must flow
In savannah
All dynamics must be controlled
For savannah
Every stop - and every drum roll
Is a story that must be told
We want de whole world to know
The best show is in Trinbago
Soca, chutney and calypso
With the steel band and de limbo
Tamboo bamboo and de tassa
Does spice up Panorama.
Chorus
(War in de
savannah
War for Panorama) x 6
