Margaritaville

By: jimmy buffett

1977

Nibblin' on sponge cake

Watchin' the sun bake

All of those tourists covered with oil

Strummin' my six-string

On my front porch swing

Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil



Chorus:

Wastin' away again in margaritaville

Searching for my lost shaker of salt

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame

But i know it's nobody's fault



I don't know the reason

I stayed here all season

Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo

But it's a real beauty

A mexican cutie

How it got here i haven't a clue



Chorus:

Wastin' away again in margaritaville

Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame

Now i think

Hell, it could be my fault



I blew out my flip-flop

Stepped on a pop-top

Cut my heel had to cruise on back home

But there's booze in the blender

And soon it will render

That frozen concoction that helps me hang on



Wastin' away again in margaritaville

Searching for my lost shaker of salt

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame

But i know it's my own damn fault

Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame

And i know it's my own damn fault
