Bob Marley & The Wailers — Simmer Down

[Chorus] 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; then why won't you, why won't you simmer down Simmer down [Verse 1] Long time people-dem used to say What sweet nanny goat a go run him belly (So) [Chorus] Simmer down; oh, control your temper Simmer down; or 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 [Instrumental] [Chorus] Simmer down; oh, you hear what I say? Simmer down; eh, that I'm-a leaving you today Simmer down; can you hear what I say? Simmer down [Verse 2] Chicken Mary, hawk de near And when him de near, you must beware (So) [Chorus] Simmer down; oh, control your temper Simmer down; or the battle will be hotter Simmer down; and you won't get no supper Simmer down; and, you know, you're 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? [Outro] Simmer down; simmer down Simmer down; simmer down Simmer down; oh, simmer-simmer down Simmer down; like you never did before
