LYRICS

Verse 1

Is it a hurricane or a storm coming
This vibration, pan invasion
This is ah tempo with a constant jamming
Like ah whirlwind, pan vibrating
Ah ring, ah cling
From every tenor pan
Ah pim, a pong
The bass in the background

Chorus

Pan Hurricane, Pan Hurricane, Storm
Pan Hurricane, Pan Hurricane, Storm
Music all around, steeldrum tumbling down
Madness in the place, iron in your waist

Verse 2

From every direction
You could hear this rumbling
It is frightening, devastating
And the closer it get it keep destroying
Thunder and lighting, people running
Pom pim pom pom pim pom pom pom
From the cello pan
Lin lo pa lim la pom lim lo pi lim
The double second jam

Chorus

Bridge

This hurricane -
Hurricane coming, hurricane coming
This hurricane, this hurricane

Verse 3

Winds of ah hundred
and eighty miles an hour
With ah rumbling, and ah grumbling
And every double second
Playing sweet soca
Without warning, it’s hurricane
Li Po Po Po, Li Po Po Po
From the cello pan
Lin lo pa lim la pom lim lo pi lim
The double second jam

Chorus

Oh yoh yoi yoh yoi
