LYRICS

Verse 1

Is Panorama again - “Fosto” Panorama again
Steel band want more money - More money
This invention to be made and from whence we know when it came
More money - More money
Much more incentive must be given to our panist
For tonight - tonight we won every battle come what may
We are the Mecca yes and the order
So come on Mister Provider
One million is ah smoke - Two million is ah joke
Three million now we note - Four million is the anti - dote

Chorus 1

This is the greatest invention for the world to see
Sweden cannot believe that is the price
Japan and Germany come to interview we
London and Canada likewise
I say hats off to Ellie Mannette - Ray Holman and Jit Samaroo
“Boogsie” Sharpe - Smooth Edwards and Clive Bradley too
As ah man more the same -
They will tell you who to blame
In this land of its birth - what a shame

Verse 2

We come into town - Jamming down this song
Even noise as we go along - Panmen want more money
United we stand divided we fall - So I calling on one and all
More money - More money
I am forever at your side Mr. Panist
Tell me how much time for you I raise the bar
We want to put all the money in place
For the greatest invention make haste
One million is ah smoke - Two million is ah joke
Three million now we note - Four million is the anti - dote

Chorus

Verse 3

Don't forget the pan pioneers -
Who sacrifice their blood sweat and tears
They want more money - More money
The labour of love is what pave the way
I can hear their voices today
Singing more money - More money
Do not disappoint them this time Mister Divider
Pan Trinbago what are you going to do
Have been beaten around the border
Is either now or never
One million is ah smoke - Two million is ah joke
Three million now we note - Four million is the anti - dote

Chorus
