Margaritaville

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
   Searching 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

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 my own damn fault

Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know it’s my own damn fault
