Verse
1
This is the time
of the year
when the steel band
Getting ready for the big showdown
This the time of the year to hear
real Pan
Every band’s hoping to win the crown
There’s music everywhere
in the
atmosphere
It’s Panorama night
A little Ellington, Bradley and
Beethoven
It’s a wonderful night
Chorus
You can hear the
basses
grumbling, coming down the
street
Listen the tenors answering,
shuffling the beat
It’s a celebration, the pride of the
nation
It’s comparable to a bird in flight
You know I ain’t lying, there is no
denying
Tonight is a wonderful night
Verse
2
This is the time
of the year when arrangers
Find themselves deep in meditation
This is the time of the year
when
the strangers
Gravitate to the land of the Pan
This is carnival, this is bacchanal
It’s a Panman’s delight
It’s so magical, it’s fantastical
It’s a wonderful night
Chorus
(repeat)
