Woman on the Bass

Lyrics

I was standing
By the grandstand
Up in the savannah
Digging this Indian girl
Beating bass pan
Coming up in Despers

With Symphony in G
arranged by Clive Bradley
Make the spectators leave the stand
And just run out to the band
While she play
The crowd shout and say

We want the woman on the bass
We want the woman on the bass
We want the woman on the bass
She beating

Yuh could imagine
First pan for the day
How people breakaway
Cause all the while I tell you
What they were hearing
Is only brass and DJ

Thus written in the air
Woman prancing like she ain't care
This Indian girl tie she shirt round she belly
Beating a sweet sweet melody
On the stage
The crowd went rampage

We want the woman on the bass
We want the woman on the bass
We want the woman on the bass
She beating

My friends
This is one thing
I have to mention
How disappointed
Were the foreigners
After coming down here to hear pan

But them Desperadoes
Had them on they toes
Took away all they frustration
Keep them jumping in the sun
The crowd start to roar
Despers give we more

We want the woman on the bass
We want the woman on the bass
We want the woman on the bass
She beating
