Lyrics:

[ 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
