Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists they covered with oil
Strummin' my eight string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they're beginning to boil
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a man to blame
But I know it's nobody's fault
Don't know the reason
Stayed here all season
With nothin' to show but his brand new tattoo
And it's a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got there he hasn't a clue
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a man to blame
Now I think it could be his 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 it helps him hang on
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a man to blame
But I know it's nobody's fault
Some people claim that there's a man to blame
But I know it's all their fault
