MARGARITAVILLE			
(Jimmy Buffet)

		
		Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake
		                                  
		All of those tourist covered with oil
		
		Strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing
		                                        
		Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil

		                                     
	CHORUS:	Wastin' away again in Margarita-ville
		                                    
		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

		
		I don't know the reason, I stayed here all season
		                                   
		Nothin' to show but this brand new tatoo
		
		But it's a real beautie, a Mexican cutie
		                                
		But how it got here I haven't a clue


		CHORUS

		
		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 concotion that helps me hang on


		CHORUS

		                                    
		Some people say that there's a woman to blame
		                           
		But I know it's my own damn fault
