All of those tunas covered with oil.
And all of those tourists covered with oil.
All those tubas covered in oil
All of those tourists covered with oil
All those tubers covered in oil.
All those tourists covered in oil.
All those tulips covered with oil.
All of those tourists covered with oil
And I know, it's my old friend Joe.
And I know it's my own damn fault.
And there's too much, covered in oil.
And all of those tourists covered with oil.

Cruised up the hill, had to cruise on back home.

Stepped on a car top
Cat on mahial, take a criuse on back home.

Blew out my six-string, on my front porcelain
Selling the Shemp
And again and a ball
Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing.
Smell those shrimp
They're beginnin' to boil.
Blew out my six-string, on my front porcelain
Smelling the shrimp dip again at the bar.
Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing.
Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to boil.
Blew out my six-string
On my front porcelain
Selling the Shemp
And again and a ball.
Strummin' my six string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp
They're beginnin' to boil.
Boo's on a bender.
Booze in the blender
But there's a peach in the blender.
But there's booze in the blender.
But there's proof on the blender.
And soon ever amber.
But there's booze in the blender.
And soon it will render.
Hoisted away again by my girl Rita Bell
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pot pie
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.
I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a Pop Tart
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop to
But my heel had a bruise from back home.
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home.
I put my booze in the blender
or
I put my boots in the blender
or
I put my boots in the blender
But there's booze in the blender
It's my own downfall.
It's my own damn fault.

Margaritaville played on the radio and the bar juke boxes during the summer of 1977. I worked as a very bad maintenance man at a kid's summer camp. Among the tools I used badly was a "skil' saw. Perhaps it was because saws were on my mind but, that's the lyric I heard.
Lookin' for that lost sugary salt
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
