Verse 1
I never appreciate
the pan
Ignorant of the sweet rhythm
Until I entered in the pan yard
Now to this day I love it bad
My experience first hand
I see all the glory in pan
One hundred men and women in flight
Like deh playing sweet pan for spite
Chorus
One two three, the
tenors start to play
Bass cellos and seconds all ah dem
start to ramajay
I couldn't believe the degrees of
energy i feel
I was overcome by steel
Pam pam rhythm section start to jam
(oh gosh)
Pam patam patam patam patam went the
iron man
Words can’t express emotions I feel
Totally mesmerized by steel
Verse 2
Look how dem
foreigners love the pan
And I am a born bred Trinbagonian
It took some time to realize
Its people like me could cause pan
demise
Switching channels on mih TV
Changing radio stations I am guilty
Oh I, could still remember that day
I had to pinch mihself when ah hear
pan play
Chorus

Verse 3
Oh what a
beautiful creation
Oh what a talented human
To create such infectious rhythm
Out of an old oil drum
Teach the children our history
So they could accept what belong to
we
In every school and home let our
children learn
To love and respect their own
Chorus

Bridge
Oh! It was the
sweet music
Emanating from the pan
So catchy and dynamic
It had me in a trance
And ah want the world to know
Wherever you go and yuh hear sweet
pan
That’s the music of Trinbago
Chorus (repeat)
