LYRICS
Well it’s time for Panorama,
And we
know who’s the winner
Sweet pan jammin’ until Monday dawn
Now is the J’ouvert jam - big
preparation
See we chipping, chipping down the
road
Plenty noise and bacchanal,
See
Jab-Jab and greasy-man
They not leavin’ ‘til,
You give them
money or rum
So, when the sun, get hot, run home
Ready, for the festival
Chorus
Carnival,
Carnival sweet
Feel the jam - the sweet soca beat
We will be jammin’ real hard,
And on
the road
With the tempo from the engine room.
Verse 2
Midnight-Robbers, Red-Indians,
Fancy
Sailors in the band
See how they rulin’ the road today
Flatbeds on the road,
With DJs and
live bands
The rhythm, rhythm never stops
Masqueraders take over,
Pretty mas
in full glamour
Making way for the Kings and Queens
So when, the sun, get hot, run home
Ready, for the festival
Chorus x 2
