Margaritaville

by Jimmy Buffett

from the album Feeding Frenzy
originally from the album Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes

Lyrics

Nibblin’ on sponge cake
watchin’ the sun bake
All of these parrotheads covered with oil
Strummin’ my six string on my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp
They’re beginnin’ to boil (bubble bubble bubble)

Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
And I know, this is usally some woman’s fault

Don’t know the reason
Stayed here all season
With nothing to show but this brand new tatoo
But it’s a real beauty
Oh those Atlanta cuties, well over the years
I have met me a few

Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
Now you really think, I’m gonna admit this is my fault?

I blew out my flip flop
Stepped on a pop top
I broke my leg twice, had to limp on back home
But there’s booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wasted 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

Yes, and some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
And I know it’s my own damn fault
