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
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
Don't know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothing 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
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
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
Searchin' for my
lost shaker of salt
Some people claim
that there's a woman to blame
But I know
It's my own d*** fault
Yes and some people claim
that there's a woman to blame
H*** I know
It's my own d*** fault
