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
