Margaritaville Song Lyrics by Jimmy Buffett
Nibblin’ on sponge cakeWatchin’ the sun bakeAll of those tourists covered with oilStrummin’ my six-stringOn my front porch swingSmell those shrimp, they’re beginnin’ to boil
Wastin’ away again in MargaritavilleSearchin’ for my lost shaker of saltSome people claim that there’s a woman to blameBut I know, it’s nobody’s fault
Don’t know the reasonStayed here all seasonNothing to show but this brand-new tattooBut it’s a real beautyA Mexican cutieHow it got here, I haven’t a clue
Wastin’ away again in MargaritavilleSearchin’ for my lost shaker of saltSome people claim that there’s a woman to blameNow I think, hell, it could be my fault
I blew out my flip-flopStepped on a pop topCut my heel, had to cruise on back homeBut there’s booze in the blenderAnd soon it will renderThat frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Wastin’ away again in MargaritavilleSearchin’ for my lost shaker of saltSome people claim that there’s a woman to blameBut I know, it’s my own damn fault
Yes, and some people claimThat there’s a woman to blameAnd I know, it’s my own damn fault
