LYRICS

Verse 1
dey put up ah pantent by meh bedroom window
and start to play
pan night and day

at first it was small and then de thing start to grow
ah didn't make a fuss no no.

but then when de pratice start i checking them well
dey sounding bad
and beating so hard

de players and them so green dis much i could tell
kaous out dey in de pan yard

ah say well al give them time to get in de groove
cause Rome wasn't build up in one day
maybe after two or three weeks al start to move
and that is when i will hear sweet pan play

''but is no no way
ah say no no way
de players cah play''

Chorus

pam pah dam pah dam
dey beating O oooo ( rep 4 times )

it driving meh mad
like dey head so hard
how come dey cah understand de
pam pam pam pam pam pam pah dam

knock and gone again
dey beating .. o ooooo
playing de same refrain
dey beating.. o oooo
i learn de thing easy
dey beating ..o oooo
is ah A and then ah G
dey beating.. o oooo.

never play pan in meh time
but i memorize de line
head hard ..dey cah keep it in dey mind..

Verse 2

i know dat de panorama thing in de air
so pan go play
from night to day

i really doh mind if it was sweet to my ear
i wouldn't have nothing to say....noway

i don't know bout you but i doh like pan sound bad
it hurt meh heart
it hurt meh heart
if de band not jelling it does make me feel sad
especially in my backyard..

doh matter how de arranger explain de phrase
de players and dem cah play it good
he playing it by himself but still so amazed
so he thinking something else dat dey could

'' but is no noway
ah say no noway
de players cah play..

Chorus

pam pah dam pah dam
dey beating O oooo ( rep 4 times )

it driving meh mad
like dey head so hard
how come dey cah understand de
pam pam pam pam pam pam pah dam

knock and gone again
dey beating .. o ooooo
playing de same refrain
dey beating.. o oooo
i learn de thing easy
dey beating ..o oooo

never play pan in meh time
but i memorize de line

Verse 3

people started coming by de yard to complain
night after night

de band sounding so bad we all feeling so shame
doh even think bout port of spain

somebody thought dat de band belong to me

and sounding so bad

so i went outside and try to make dat clearly
it have nothing to do with me

right about then de captain knock on de pan
we going and try dis thing again
all de players stand up straight with sticks in dey hand
but all i hearing was sounding de same

but is no know-way
ah say no know-way
de players cah playow dat de panorama thing in de air
so pan go play
from night to day

i really doh mind if it was sweet to my ear
i wouldn't have nothing to say....know-way

i don't know bout you but i doh like pan sound bad
it hurt meh heart
it hurt meh heart
if de band not jelling it does make me feel sad
especially in my backyard..

doh matter how de arranger explain de phrase
de players and dem cah play it good
he playing it by himself but still so amazed
so he thinking something else dat dey could

'' but is no noway
ah say no noway
de players cah play..


Chorus..
