Lyrics Panman - The Mighty Sparrow

Listen to the rhythm, listen to the beat
Look at all them women jumping in the street
Steelpan music had them spellbound
You can't tell the old from young
Woman by the group in town
And is only panman they hanging on

It's Carnival time
Women hototo looking fine
And they had for so yard to yard
Any way you pass they gone mad
And they're playing mas
Smoking, drinking, wining
And only singing:
"No, we don't want no man
If you can't beat pan!"

Big Yankee excursion, they come down in style
The beat of the steelband have them going wild
I like to see how their mini jumping
And some of them thick like dumpling
Checking up their waist
Mama ye, there is bacchanal in the place

It's Carnival time
Women hototo looking fine
And they had for so yard to yard
Any way you pass they gone mad
And they're playing mas
Smoking, drinking, wining
And only singing:
"No, we don't want no man
If you can't beat pan!"

The whole place on fire
Gone hotter than hell
Man start to perspire
Pan ringing like bell
"Come on baby, do your own thing
Now until Ash Wednesday morning
I snatch a man pan
And with that I collect a Yankee woman

It's Carnival time
Women hototo looking fine
And they had for so yard to yard
Any way you pass they gone mad
And they're playing mas
Smoking, drinking, wining
And only singing:
"No, we don't want no man
If you can't beat pan!"

Next year they go come back
I dance with them all
Yes I make meh contact
To get in the groove
I dumbstruck to drop six-guitar
Turn up, you go get some scratcher
So next time they come
They beating the biggest panman in town

It's Carnival time
Women hototo looking fine
And they had for so yard to yard
Any way you pass they gone mad
And they're playing mas
Smoking, drinking, wining
And only singing:
"No, we don't want no man
If you can't beat pan!"
