Verse
1
1939 said some
Between there and ‘41
On a pan a little dent
Could create ah instrument
They sweat and they pound away
Till a melody could play
The people had one comment
This is a new instrument.
Chorus
We need a anthem
for the steel pan
So when we hear it we go all stand
We need a anthem for the steel pan
To show we love and we respect pan
First thing we play it in the
morning
Last thing we play it in the evening
Government functions that they
having
It should be played at the openings
Why? We need a anthem for the steel
pan
It was invented here in this land.
Verse
2
You were all born
in this land
So be proud of the pan
It is time the world should hear
The pan was invented here
So now I appeal to you
This is what we all should do
We should demand an anthem
Dedicated to Steel Pan.
Chorus

Verse
3
Out there in the
rain and sun
Pounding away on a drum
Hoping that a note would come
On ah dented old steel drum
Let us show our gratitude
For without their fortitude
The world would have no steel pans
And dey would be no steel bands.
Chorus
