Simmer Down Lyrics

[Bob Marley]

            Simmer down: you lickin' too hot, so!
            Simmer down: soon you'll get dropped, so!
            Simmer down: can you hear what I say?
            Simmer down: simmer won't you - why won't you -
            why won't you simmer down?
            Simmer down!

            Long time people de used to say,
            What sweet nanny goat
            A-go run him belly, so:
            Simmer down: oh, control your temper!
            Simmer down: or the battle will be hotter
            Simmer down: man, you hear what I say?
            Simmer down: oh, that I'm a-leavin' you today!

            Simmer down: oh, you hear what I say?
            Simmer simmer: a-that I'm leavin' you today!
            Simmer down: can you hear what I say?
            Simmer down!

            Chicken merry, hawk deh near
            And when him deh near
            You must beware, so:
            Simmer down: oh, control your temper!
            Simmer down: for the battle will be hotter;
            Simmer down: and-a you won't get no supper.
            Simmer down: and you know you bound to suffer
            Simmer down: simmer - simmer - simmer right down:
            Simmer down: like you never did before!
            Simmer down: oh, oh, oh!
            Simmer down: man, you hear what I say?
            Simmer down: you lickin' too hot, so!
            Simmer down: and you know soon you'll get dropped, so!
            Simmer down: I want to simmer - simmer down!
            Simmer down: simmer down - simmer down!
            Simmer down: simmer - simmer down!
            Simmer down: oh, simmer - simmer down!
            Simmer down: and you never ...
