Jimmy Buffet

it's been too hot to listen to books in the car so i have taken Taking out and slipped in some Jimmy Buffet (and some Shonen Knife). there is no better convertible music than Jimmy's.

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 boil
Chorus:Wasted 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
I stayed here all season
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beautyA 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
Hell, it could be my fault
I 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 on
Wasted 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

the other day, during a visit, Maniac Mike went on and on about Margarita's; the best Ft Meyers bar, how to make them, how many he's gonna have when he gets out, blah, blah, blah. he should get together with the library staff; they can go on and on about Margarita's, too. i wish i were a drinker.
