You go hear pan in A minor, with them steelband from all over CHORUS:

G7XXXXXX

You going to hear them at their best, they will be going through a test,

CXXXXXX E7XXXXXX

You going to hear them as they pass, burning the grass (Beat pan, beat pan, beat pan)

I walk around the room and I started to create

I know I have to prove to them, I have the ability

I there and then decide the Minor should dominate

If not entirely, for most of the melody

The notes of the chorus carry a simple hook

From the 7th to A minor

It's really designed to give you a strange new look

On the road, to panorama

They tell me *Catelli, preparing already, But something just tell me, *Pamberi not easy

No one ever mention, the strength of *Blue Diamond,

Forgetting that *Sando, could upset the whole show (To Chorus) (San Fernando area)

I want the boys to know the Grandmaster wish you well

Following the instruction, you should be sounding sweet

I do sincerely hope every single band excel, I know you going to have the crowd

Falling over their feet

Remember you fighting for tonal quality, The spirit of Carnival and good phrase

Arrangement and interpretation, certainly, As to win, all the judges praise

They say *Casablanca, *Starlift and *Invaders

Some *bands from Arima, they master the Minor

But I know they can't trust, *Solo and *Exodus

All will be hoping to, destroy Jit Samaroo (arranger) (To Chorus)

Beat pan, beat pan, beat pan * Steelband orchestras.
