Lyrics:

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

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; 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


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

Chicken merry, hawk deh near
And when him deh near, you must beware (So)

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?

Simmer down; simmer down
Simmer down; simmer down
Simmer down; oh, simmer-simmer down
Simmer down; like you never did before
