Simmer Down

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, that why won't you, why won't you, why

won't you simmer down

Simmer down.

Long time people dem used to say

What sweet nanny goat a go run him belly, so

Simmer down, oh control your temper

Simmer down, for the battle will be hotter

Simmer down, can you hear what I say

Simmer down, oh that I'm a leaving you today

Simmer down.

Simmer down, oh you hear what I say

Simmer down, a that I'm leaving you today

Simmer down, can you hear what I say

Simmer down.

Chicken Mary, hawk de near and when him de near, you

must beware, so

Simmer down, oh control your temper

Simmer down, for the battle will be hotter

Simmer down, and 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, can 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, why won't you simmer, simmer down

Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down

Simmer down, simmer, simmer down

Simmer down, oh simmer, simmer down

Simmer down, like you never did before...
