Lyrics Simmer Down - Johnny Clarke

Simmer down. don't mek you so hot, man.
Simmer down. say you will get dropped, man.
Simmer down. man, you hear what I say?
Simmer down. see why won't you, why won't you, why won't you simmer down?
Simmer, simmer, simmer.

Long time people dem, used to say,
What sweet nanny goat a go run him belly, so:
Simmer down. just control your temper.
Simmer down. or the battle will be hotter.
Simmer down. you hear what I say, hey?
Simmer down. see why won't you, why won't you, why won't you simmer down?
Simmer down.

Chicken Mary, hawk de near and when him de near, you must beware, so:
Simmer down. you hear what I say, hey?
Simmer down. see why won't you, why won't you, why won't you simmer down?
Simmer down. just control your temper.
Simmer down. you hear what I say, hey?
Simmer down. simmer down, simmer down,
Simmer down. simmer, simmer down.

Long time people dem, used to say,
What sweet nanny goat a go run him belly, so:
Simmer down. you hear what I say, hey?
Simmer down. I'm leaving you today, hey.
Simmer down. see why won't you, why won't you, why won't you simmer down?
Simmer down. just control your temper.
Simmer down. or the battle will be hotter.
Simmer down. you hear what I say, hey?
Simmer down. simmer, simmer down.
