LYRICS

Verse 1

Edwin Pouchet, we must never forget,
That great arranger, we must remember
Document history, Oh what a memory
Such a humble man, with a love for Pan
A true genius when it come to arranging music
He gave it his heart and soul
To see him at work was something amazing to behold
Bang bang etc…

Chorus

Compose, and arrange pan music with a touch o’ class
Edwin’s Legacy, Edwin’s Legacy
Mentor, to all his pan players he was unsurpassed
Edwin’s Legacy, Edwin’s Legacy
Hear de tenor pans, Prum!  Hear de guitar pans, Prum!
Hear the second pans, Prum! Hear the cello pans
Ping pong etc…
Exciting, and strong, one to sing along
Edwin’s Legacy.

Verse 2

Edwin Pouchet, Junior was his senior
Junior set the pace, Edwin took his place
To maintain the sound, of Silver Stars profound
Sound of unity, sound of clarity
Never boastful, but he proved to be so powerful
Not known to ever complain
Though underrated he kept coming again and again
Bang bang etc…

Chorus
_________________

Verse 3

His one design, to be first in de line
His style of strumming, meant thunder coming
Left us in his prime, to keep up the showtime
Left us all to moan, in this battle zone
So now we must wake up and launch a new shock attack
To preserve his legacy
To keep the music entertaining, bouncy but classy
Bang bang etc…

Chorus
