Just because I had to look it up to get the first four words (I could remember everything else, just not the beginning) I give you...
Jimmy Buffett - Margaritaville Lyrics
Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boilChorus:
Wastin' 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 faultI 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 clueChorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my faultI 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 concoction that helps me hang onWastin' 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 my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault
Because the only thing worse than having a song running through your head is having a song running through your head and not being able to remember how the song starts!
Posted by GEBIV at October 19, 2004 11:38 PMJust one question: what's sponge cake have to do with Mexico?
I never got that line.
Posted by: Harvey at October 20, 2004 11:13 AMThat's probably why I can never remember it.
:-P
FYI - sponge cakes go great with Margaritas. Help soak up that tequila. Also - cuts some of the acid from the mix.
Umm....so I've heard. ;-)
