play that pan

(Verse 1)
the steelpan rings across the square
P-p-p-p-p pa boom, pa pa boom, mmmmmm bing
old friends gather by the wooden wall
Ohhhhhh, come on now, play it.
(Chorus)
oh, play that pan, let the rhythm flow
Tica tica tica tica tica tica tica tica tica
the melodies drift down the quiet street
where happy memories and music meet
(Verse 2)
the silver drums under the yellow light
P-p-p-p-p pa boom, pa pa boom, mmmmmm bing
a timeless island melody
Ohhhhhh, come on now, play it.
(Chorus)
oh, play that pan, let the rhythm flow
Tica tica tica tica tica tica tica tica tica
the melodies drift down the quiet street
where happy memories and music meet
(Bridge)
the last notes echo as the stars awake
Tica tica tica tica tica tica tica tica tica
the music lingers when the drums grow still
a song that memory will always fill
(Outro)
Ohhhhhh, come on now, play it.
sweet and low
