Steel Band Jump Up I put my ear to the ground, And I hear the steel-band sound. Ping pong! Ping pong! Music deep, rhythm sweet. I’m dancing, tracking the beat: Like a seashell’s ringing song. Ping pong! Ping pong!
Moving along, moving along, High and low, up and down, Ping pong! Ping pong! Pan beating singing, round and round, Ping pong! Ping pong! by Faustin Charles
