LYRICS

Verse 1

Rollo had a dream, no Panorama
Ah quiet storm, in de Savannah
No place to lime, is Carnival time
Like de Pan on lock down, tell me, whey de Pan gone!

Chorus 1

Ah run down by ALL STARS - No Pan
RENEGADES Pan Yard - No Pan
SILVER STARS, DESPERS, PHASE II
Doh know what to do
Ah really can’t understand - No Pan

Verse 2

Looking for de Pan, call Pan Trinbago
Text Damion, on WACK Radio
When Steel Talks say, dey really doh know
Ah grab ah maxi taxi,
Headed straight to San’do

Chorus 2

FONCLAIRE STEEL ORCHESTRA - No Pan
SKIFFLE and HATTERS - No Pan
In Siparia, DELTONES wasn’t dey
What ah catastrophe
No Pan in meh country

Verse 3

Travel to de East, still looking for Pan
Whah happening, ah cyah understand
Dem panyards, from Grande to Laventille
No matter whey ah turn
Ah hah de same concern

Chorus 3

Grande by CORDETTES - No Pan
SCHERZANDO in Curepe - No Pan
EXODUS and BIRDSONG
POTENTIAL and HARMONITES
Like something gone wrong
No melodic sound of de Drum

Verse 4

Searching high and low, doh know whey to go
East, west, north and south
Like meh luck run out
No Pan tonight, Rollo feeling uptight
Ah going Piarco, next stop is Tobago

Chorus 4

DIXELAND, EXPLOSION - No Pan
SOUND SETTERS, BUCCOONERS - No Pan
KATZENJAMMERS, PAN-THERS, STEEL SENSATION
Ah can’t find one band, like someone hijack de Pan

_________________

No Pan, No Pan, No Pan
No Pan, No Pan, No Pan

Verse 5

Jump out of de dream
When meh neighbour scream
Pan Explosion time, on de twin island
Ah run out de house, straight to de savannah
Meh head feeling bazodie, Panorama in T&T

Chorus 5

Liming on de Drag, heat begin to rise
Steelband warming up, de place come alive
When racks start to roll, ah sight to behold
Showcasing Pan, best steelband in de nation

More Pan, More Pan, Sweet Pan
More Pan, More Pan - Sweet, Sweet, Pan
