[ 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
