SAGA BOY AND TAN TAN IN PARANG
By Lord Relator

It looking like an invasion for the Christmas occasion
Saga Boy and Tan Tan just declare they coming out to parang this year
Well, folks you see that experiment is meeting with resistance and resentment
Parranderos lodging their objection with the Parang Association.

Sereno, I say no, I don't know if they can
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
The Gingerbeeras and Los Blanchissheras with placards in they hand
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
Los Pastelleros from Los Iros want to hire a police band.
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
I feel is the sweet music from Fitz Vaughan Bryan that causing this confusion and commotion.
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]

Hear the music!

[Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy
Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy
Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy...]

With me is neither here nor there, I have no problem with the idea
You have a school of thought that's very fixed, feeling Carnival and Christmas doh really mix
But you see this new innovation - parang in Christmas, is a new dimension
If me and Peter Minshall had we own way Saga Boy and Tan Tan will surely play... Oh yay

Sereno, I say no, I don't know if they can
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
Now the Gingerbeeras and Los Blanchissheras with placards in they hand
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
Los Pastelleros from Los Iros want to hire a police band.
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
I feel is the sweet music from  Fitz Vaughan Bryan that causing this confusion in the land.
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]

Hear the music!

[Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy
Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy
Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy...]

Parang this year go be brighter if we go with the idea
In terms of full participation, parang could do with an injection
But the real bone of contention and the heart of all this objection
No parrandero could take he cuatro and go in a Carnival band just so...Oh no!

Sereno, I say no, I don't know if they can
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
Now the Gingerbeeras and Los Blanchissheras with placards in they hand...Objection!
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
Los Pastelleros from Los Iros want to hire a police band
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
But I feel is the sweet music from Fitz Vaughan Bryan that cause this confusion and commotion
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]

[Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy
Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy
Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy...]

"Why allyuh  want to change the laws?" That is the cry from Santa Claus
Santa serious and not making joke, he doesn't think that this plan would work
But Peter Minshall and Louis Lee Sing holding an emergency meeting
In mediation talks, I must understand, with the Parang Association.

Sereno, I say no, I don't know if they can
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
Now the Gingerbeeras and Los Blanchissheras with placards in they hand
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
Los Pastelleros from Los Iros want to hire a police band.
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]
But I feel is the sweet music from  Fitz Vaughan Bryan that causing all this confusion.
[Saga Boy and Tan Tan want to jump in the parang band]

[Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy
Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy
Tan Tan and Saga Boy, Tan Tan and Saga Boy...]

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Lord Relator.  

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
