Margaritaville

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] 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 Searchin' 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 [Outro] Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame And I know it's my own damn fault
