LYRICS

Verse 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.
