LYRICS

Chorus (Intro)

Playing the pan, dancing to the pan
Fills me with ecstasy
Would you be amazed
How it put me in a daze
That’s what it does to me
Playing the pan, dancing to the pan
Playing sweet melodies
Playing the pan, dancing to the pan
Sounding great harmonies

Verse 1

This is a fantastic piece of art
All of this reminds me of Mozart
Didn’t believe how a steel band orchestra
In this time would play a Sonata
It raise me pores when I hear the pan man roll
I like to see how he using stick control
Combined with the beats of Africa
You should see how he jamming the soca

Chorus

_________________

Verse 2

Guitar pans keep on strumming
Cellos syncopating
The fifth pans keep playing the melody
Double tenors playing harmony
Double seconds blend with the guitar
And sometimes they playing a counter
Quadraphonic jamming with the bass man
This is what I’m talking ‘bout sweet pan

Chorus

_________________

Bridge

Playing the pan
Gives me a good sensation
Playing the pan
Creating tones of a good vibration
Playing the pan
The world recognize our nation
Creative Black Man
You should be proud of this great invention

(The way dey move
If you see the pan man groove
The band jamming hard
The crowd going mad
The people in the band
Only waving dey hand) x2
