Margaritaville Lyrics

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 
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
