[ duet with Jimmy Buffett ]
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 shrimps they're beginning to boil
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville searching for my last 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 to stay here all season
With 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 searching for my last shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame now I think must be Buffett's fault
[ steel - mandolin ]
I blew out my flip-flop stepped on a pop-top
Broke my legs crise on my way back home
But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on hang on
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville searching for my last shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame but I know this is all Alan's fault
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame but I know it's all damn fault
