Verse 1
____
Nibbling on sponge cake
Watching the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strumming my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp, well, they’re beginning to boil

Chorus
____
Wasting 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

Verse 2
___
I don’t know the reason
Stayed up all season
With nothing to show but a brand-new tattoo
But it’s a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here, I haven’t a clue, I haven’t a clue
Stayed up all season
With nothing to show but a brand-new tattoo
But it’s a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here, I haven’t a clue, I haven’t a clue

Verse 3
_____
I blew out my flip-flopĀ
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
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
