LYRICS

Verse 1

The pan, is one of the greatest inventions
An instrument that’s made from the oil drum
Say pan, and yuh calling Trinidadians
They are gifted for making the steel pan
From the highest of heights throughout the universe
Bach and Bram’s Beethoven you’ll hear
Symphonies ringing out to each end of the earth
Is pan like yuh never hear

Chorus

Is pan, pan for Beethoven
Play pan for Tchaikovsky
Pan in symphony
Pan with ah sweet sweet melody
Play pan in Carnegie - Pan in Radio City
In every concert hall, oh yes
Pan would play it all

Verse 2

Pan men playing ah symphony on pan
Beethoven gives a standing ovation
And when cellos ring out throughout the land
That’s the sound of ah symphony steel band
Bass pans playing and sounding
like a Tim phony, in different keys and tones
You can hear
Tenor pans ringing out
Violin rhapsodies, it gets better every year

Chorus
_________________

Verse 3

Soca - no instrument plays it better
So we move on with pan in the future
Let’s make soca ah classical treasure
So that it would be played by orchestras
The spirit of Beethoven would be listening
He’ll be shock to know what he hears
Soca vibration have he coffin tumbling
He dead but he still have ears

Chorus
