Verse
1
The fans and them
Are sitting in the North and Grand
Stand
To support their fav’rite steel band
The bands and them
Are in and
outside the Savannah
Final drill by the arranger
With all this melody,
We bound to act
crazy
Up in de Savannah, for Panorama
We come in here
To support the band
of we choice
Applauding loud the top of we voice.
Yes, ah tell yuh...
Chorus
(Jump and wave and
get on scandalous
(Pan jam for all of us)
Skies are clear pans ring in the air
We all compare
All man come out to brag
For, pan on de drag
Plenty bacchanal
This is Pan Scandal) - repeat
Verse
2
All Trini feel
They know well how to adjudicate
So they done know each steelband
fate
They eat and drink
Every kina rum
till they tight
For they band they ready to fight
And they know every part,
The music
by heart
So is big argument, ‘bout de
arrangement
And of course all of dem judges,
Don’t have a clue
And certain bands
They bound to put
through.
Yes, ah tell yuh...
Chorus
_________________
Verse
3
The Panorama is a
unique special event
And to win that is evident
So is a ritual
They go through
towards the stage
Drive the supporters in a rage
Play the tune casually,
Then drop it
down slow
Next time little faster,
Then raise
the tempo, so
And when yuh see, fans start
shouting
When they react
Yuh know that yuh ready and that’s a
fact.
Yes, ah tell yuh...
Chorus
