Lyrics Let It Simmer - Maria Muldaur

Hey, got a second
Can I pull your coal?
I think I hit upon an antidote
When you've got trouble
And it don't look good
Just do like I do
I think you should

Let it simmer
Cook it slow
Cool your heels
Just let it go
Don't get hot
Why be a fool
That's the thought
Don't lose your cool

Let it settle
You the boss
Take your time
Hopin' nothing lost
Say your girl is shimmying
Like your sister Kate
She out there dancing
Your date looks great

And all the studs there
Well, they think so too
They're making passes
What do you do?

Let it simmer
Ease it on
Turn on your dimmer
Ain't nothing wrong
Count to ten
Then count again
Whatever's wrong
Is on the mend

Take it easy
Take it slow
Turn the heat down
Turn it low
First you got of money
And then you ain't
Where does it go
Is a cheap complaint

It always comes back
So don't you despair
Don't pop a vessel
Don't pull your hair

Let I simmer
Heat's on low
Cool your jets
Just let it go
Don't turn red
That's my advice
Don't lose your head
Ain't worth no price

Let it mellow
Take your time
Let it simmer
Simmerin's fine

Let's wrap this up now
I got things to do
These are my thoughts
On the toughest shoe
It ain't so bad
If you take my tip
Just let it coast
For a smoother trip

Let it simmer
Cook it slow
No use boiling
Just let it go
Don't get hot
It's a simple rule
Just cool off
Lay by the pool

Take it easy
It's alright
Just for today
And for tonight
Keep it mellow
Keep it light
Take your time
It will be alright

Let it simmer
Keep it light
Keep it mellow
Why get uptight
