Lyrics

[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, 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]
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
[Chorus]
Wasting away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think, hell, it could be my fault
[Verse 3]
I blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a poptop
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
[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 my own damn fault
[Outro]
Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault
