Simmer Down Bob Marley & The Wailers

[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
