No Pan For Indian Arrival Day.

No pan for Indian Arrival Day.

Just Indian dancers and an' tassa like it was Hoosey

(Who say?)

Yeah, but Jack Warner was dey

(I doh know what Jack Wanna be...)

Buh, he coudda warn ah brudder!

Yuh mean tuh tell me that it ain't have one pan side, made up of Indians who arrive?

(But dey LOVE pan! Ask Jit. They is among de "inventors" of pan, yuh know.)

Then, if they celebrating dey "arrival", and dey invent and love pan so much in dey new home, why dey didn;t have pan as part of de entertainment? Ah mean, if I invent someting in de place I celebrating I arrive in, I would certainly want to highlight my invention?

(Doh, worry about dat. Is Indian Arrival Day, remember? Duh.)

Look more like Indian Departure Day to me. Like dey never depart.

(SHUT UP! OLD FART!)

(Dat is de PNM in him talking. All ah we iz one familee!!! Enough wit dis racist BS!)

So is racist to observe a behavior or action?

(Iz racist to talk about anyting to do wit race. Pan is not a part of Indian culture!)

You said it, and they proved it. Just saying...

(Dat iz your problem; you say too much.)

Like Sat Maraj?

(THERE HE GOES AGAIN!!!)

Anyway, yuh still ain't answer meh question. Why allyuh always dodging meh questions? 

(Because, you iz ah ghos, an dem iz "ghos questions".)

Like your answers?

(EXACTLY!!!)

Allright, pardner. We will jus say

Indian Arrival Day

Had No Pan To Play

Only tassa an more tassa

An ah brudder name Warner

Who made a speech like he was speaking for de plantaion owner

When he say dat de sugar industry was in disorder

Because dey couldn't get Knee-gars tuh work for free any longer

So Warner B an Indian Brudder

Say Indain come tuh save de day

An were willing to work for little pay

An now he have ah Indian Queen from Siparia

ALL Hail Kamla Persad-Bissasar

The Indian Goddess with many hands in lots of mess

On Indian Arrival Day

All dis knucklehead had to say

Was dat Indians save de country from de brink of collapse

Forgetting dat de economy was built on my forefathers' laps

A "good" House Negro's utterances, perhaps?

So while dey celebrate their arrival wit a public holiday

Our celebration is called Emancipation Day.

As if we did not have our own arrival

Working under worse conditions dan before Jack's Indian Rapture

The coming of Trinidad & Tobago's economic savior

Rescued TNT, as per Jack Warner

So while dey celebrate wen dey arrive in de lan'

Take note dat de did not include ONE STEELBAND!

Sweet Mout Aloo mite ah stretch out he han'

How can he sing (like a yellow canary) in a strange lan'?

He say it was just a job, an start singing ah minor

Forgetting, it was a "job", too, to Jean an' Dinah

Ah bet meh life is someting dey sellin'

Ah jus hope de brudder was paid ah pretty shilling

Tch, tch, what can I say?

No pan on Indian Arrival Day.
