Margaritaville

作詞/作曲：Jimmy Buffett

Nibbling on sponge cake
Watching the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strumming my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp, well, they're beginning to boil
Oh, crawfish in New Orleans, yeah

Wasting away again in Margaritaville
Searching 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
Stayed up all season
With nothing to show but a brand-new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here, I haven't a clue, I really don't know

Wasting away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I think it could be my fault, maybe, just maybe

I blew out my flip-flop (how?)
Stepped on a pop top
I broke my leg twice, had to limp on back home
God, I still feel pain
I wish I had some cocaine
But that's been gone since early this morn' (long gone)

Wasting away again in Margaritaville (yes, I am, yes, I am, I'm)
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know, it's my own damn fault

Yeah
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
There always is and I know
It's my own damn fault

Thank you
Alright
This is the original Coral Reefer Band up here now
Everybody having a good time, so far, out there?
Me too
Yeah, this is the way it started out
Yeah, we're gonna get to all those songs now
We're gonna do 'em one at a time

This is a song, that, uh
We'll do this for two sections in the country tonight that are called LA
One of them is out in California
The other is lower Alabama, where I come from, that LA
Affectionately known in some circles as the Redneck Riviera, and ah
Song about where it all came from
And we'll, uh, do this for anybody out there
Who also went through a Catholic education and the altar boy system
