Verse 1
I beating pan you know
From since
the age of three
I could handle each and every melody
Whether it’s Indian hoosay
Or Shango
music on pan
I could just get ah call
And fall
into any band
It getting harder
The notes on pan ah cyah remember
Where they use to hit “F” was “C”
They changing the notes on me
They want to drive me insane
This kind ah thing eh good for meh
brain
Come on now let’s form a plan
(Formulate ah plan)
The young and old must understand.
Chorus
Doh call me your
pan man
Ah cyah play in your band
If ah had ah sax or a trombone
Ah would ah travel from Rome to home
And play--- and play, anywhere I say
But all over my land, it eh so with the pan
Ah cyah come and play in your band,
so-
Standardize yuh
pan, standardize yuh pan
Standardize yuh pan
Ah want to play with your band
Standardize yuh
pan, standardize yuh pan
Standardize yuh pan
If you want meh play with yuh band

Verse 2
Take for instance
when I was young
And I was still in
my prime
I was able to fall-in any band at
any time
Whether they from east, west
North or
south central
I could handle it with ease as ah
bacchanal
I could ah move
meh body
To suit any melody; now that I get older
Cyah deal with all this structure
They want meh to play ah “G”
Ah twisting up meh body
Don’t know what
they doing next
(What they doing next)
Like they want meh to play it in
triplets
