Simmer Down Lyrics - The Skatalites

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
