Nibblin' on sponge cake 
  
Watchin' the sun bake 
                                    A 
All of you parrotheads covered with oil 

Strummin' my six-string 
  
On my front porch swing 
                                             D 
Smell those shrimp, hey they're beginnin' to boil  
Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble

Wasted away again in Margaritaville 
 G               A              D 
Searching for my lost shaker of salt 
Salt! Salt! Salt!

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame 
                              D 
And I know this is somebody's fault 
D  
I don't know the reason 
  
I stayed here all season 
                                       A   
With nothin' to show but that brand new tattoo 
  
But it's a real beauty 
                        
I think she might be a mexican cutie how it got here

I haven't a clue

Old men in tanktops 

Cruising the giftshops 
                                   A   
Checkin' out Chiquitas down by the shore 

They dream about weightloss 

Wish they could be their own boss 
                                        D 
Those three day vacations become such a bore 
 D 
I blew out my flip-flop  

Stepped on a pop-top  
                                          A 
I broke my leg twice I had to limp on back home 

But there's booze in the blender 
  
And soon it will render 
                                      D 
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on  
Hang on! Hang on! Hang on!
