LYRICSVerse 1
It’s a
fantasy,
And our legacy,
If
you want to hear sweet music play,
Come and join me.
Coming
from the sky,
It could get you
high,
Look tears in meh when de
music play,
And doh doubt me.
When de music play it does
really hit you,
Make you dance
and sing it does really grip you.
It is really great,
It is
really nice,
So nice, so nice,
So nice nice nice.
Chorus
Ah going up
by Merry Tones
You know dem doh
make no bones is music,
Music in de panyard.
Ah goin' up by Phase 2
And down by
Renegades too is music,
Music in de panyard.
Ting ah ling ah ling, ting ah ling
ah ling,
Hit me, Pan man, with music.
Ting ah ling ah ling,
Ting ah ling ah ling,
Hit me Pan man with music.
Hit me hard hard
Hit me hard hard
Ting ah ling ah ling, ting ah ling
ah ling
Hit me, Pan man, with music.
Verse 2
It’s a work
of art,
That came from the heart,
Making an old oil drum perfect,
To play any music.
Each a different size,
Range from lows to highs,
Making a stand and putting it,
Just to sink it.
It eh no easy job just to pong and
sink a pan,
It has to take lots of love and
dedication. ,
Then you add fire,
All inside de Pan.
So hot, so hot,
So hot hot hot.
Chorus
Ah goin down
by Panatics,
If you see them move them sticks is
music music in de panyard,
Despers gone back on de hill,
And you know we goin’ still,
Is music, music in de panyard.
Ting ah ling ah ling, ting ah ling
ah ling,
Hit me pan man with music.
Ting ah ling ah ling, ting ah ling
ah ling,
Hit me pan man with music.
Hit me hard hard,
Hit me hard hard, ting ah ling ah
ling, ting ah ling ah ling
Hit me, Pan man, with music.
Verse 3
Big
preparation,
Stiff competition,
All arrangers trying their best,
To be better than the rest.
All de pan players,
And de pan tuners,
They taking night and making day,
To make it all de way.
All de action leading to Panorama,
We does practice till it come second
nature,
When we reach up dey,
And we start to play,
Is jam, is jam,
Is jam jam jam.
Chorus
Ah checking
Supernova,
And then is Casablanca, is music,
Music in de panyard.
Harvard Harps we checking, out,
And Fonclaire dem down in south ,
Is music music in de panyard.
Ting ah ling ah ling,
Ting ah ling ah ling,
Hit me, Pan man, with music.
Ting ah ling ah ling,
Ting ah ling ah ling,
Hit me, Pan man, with music.
Hit me hard hard,
Hit me hard hard,
Ting ah ling ah ling,
Ting ah ling ah ling hit me pan man
with music.
