Just wasting away again in Margaritaville - anyone care to join me?
Edited on Wed Jan-04-06 05:25 PM by DanCa
MEET ME IN MARGARITAVILLE

MARGARITAVILLE
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 shrimp--
They're beginnin' to boil.
Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know it's nobody's fault.

Don't know the reason,
Stayed 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.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' 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.

I blew out my flip flop,
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.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' 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.
Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame, And I know it's my own damn fault

1. I had a law professor at Ole Miss
who was a Parrothead. He always put at least one extra credit question on a test relating to a Jimmy Buffet. One was about the tattoo in this song.

2. I live in South Florida. This is Margaritaville central...
If I hear one more freaking Buffett song, I'm gonna kill somebody.

(full disclosure: I own about five Hawaiian shirts and Jimmy Buffett's Greatest Hits Cd)
