Margaritaville Lyrics By Jimmy Buffett

    nibblin’ on sponge cake
    watchin’ the sun bake
    all of those tourists covered with oil
    strummin’ my sixstring
    on my front porch swing
    smell those shrimp
    they’re beginnin’ to boil

    wastin away again in margaritaville
    searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt
    some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
    but i know it’s nobody’s fault

    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

    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 flipflop
    stepped on a pop top
    cut my heel had to cruise on back home
    but theres booze in the blender
    and soon it will render
    that frozen concoction that helps me hang on

    wastin’ away again in margaritaville
    searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt
    some people claim that theres a woman to blame
    but i know its my own damn fault

    yes and
    some people claim that theres a woman to blame
    and i know its my own damn fault
