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, theyre beginnin to boil
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 nobodys fault
Dont know the reason
Stayed here all season
Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
But its a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here, I havent a clue
Wastin away again in Margaritaville
Searchin for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that theres 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 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
