[Verse 1]

Nibblin' on sponge cake

Watchin' the sun bake

All of those tourists covered in oil

Strummin' my six-string

On my front porch swing

Smell those shrimp hey they're beginnin' to boil

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I don't know the reason

I stayed here all season

Nothin' 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]

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

Must be Buffett's fault

[Verse 3]

I blew out my flip-flop

Stepped on a pop-top

Broke my leg twice I had to limp on back home

But there's booze in the blender

And soon it will render

That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Hang on

[Chorus]

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

This is all Alan's fault

[Outro]

Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame

But I know

It's our own damn fault
