Dr Samaroo Lyrics

VERSE 1
Cuatro class down by 'Slim',
And John Ralph he went
After he watch, his Mum sing and play dholak in tent
Then Landeg White set him alight
And made him study Music Theory
While parang ignite
MALIPHANT brought him music to practice with
Then formed his siblings to Samaroo Kids
Then Nigel Seales and Birch Kelman
Took him to Renegades Band
With Kitchener songs, he had we spellbound,
A great legend began

CHORUS
Dr. Samaroo, this one is for you
De sound tracks of our lives, you played quite a few
Pan fraternity says 'Thank you'!!
Your innovations, cello and tenor runs
Your counter-melodic fills, and your change rhythms
From Panorama to Jean-Michel Jarre
Pan world, calls you Master,
And a genius pan arranger

VERSE 2
Tunes like 'Miss Supporter', 'For de Love of Pan'
'Pan Man Vibrations', written for steel bands
'A day in Surrey', 'La Trinity'
'Song of Lopinot', Angel Harps, Pan Glow,
Cordettes, Tornadoes
Thankfully, son Amrit, music in his veins
Composed 'Band from Space',
Last song Jit arranged
Dis Humming Bird and Chaconia,
U.W.I. doctor of Pan
Straight from Monte Grand, and Camboulay Band,
Now a great Pan Legend

VERSE 3
From 'Pan Explosion' back in '82
'Sweet Pan', 'Pan Night and Day', 'Somebody' too
'De Iron Man', and 'Mystery Band'
'Four Lara Four', 'Pan in a Rage', and 'Guitar Pan'
Is nine panoramas, won with these songs
With Renegades, Dr. Jit ruled town
Eleven national 'test-pieces',
He composed for steel bands
Dis phenomenal, ultra-musical,
And humble gentleman

Chorus
