This year’s carnival, down in Trinbago.
Steelbands taking over the show.
Be prepared, to hear sweet pan,
From our great steelbands.
Showcasing talents, of the land.

Carnival in Trin-Bago, --- is Pan in T&T
Is pan wherever you go --- is Pan in T&T
People dancing on the streets --- is Pan in T&T
‘Cause the music sweet sweet sweet
Is Pan in T&T.

Down in Scarborough --- Pan in T&T

Come to T&T, and you’ll see.
Watch the players practicing,
Going through their drills.
You will be amazed, by their skills.
