“There’s booze in the blender, And soon it will render, That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.”
song ~ “Margaritaville”
artist ~ Jimmy Buffet
Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my 6-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp, they're beginning to boil
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 fault
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 clue
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 fault
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
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' 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 (Image source)
Comments
This cheerful song is about blissful daily life in a tropical climate.
Don't worry, be blissful
The protagonist has no cares or concerns at all. He eats, strums his guitar, gazes out at the beach, and, of course, drinks frosty margaritas. (Image source)
Get well soon. Start with 2 margaritas in the morning.
Life is so sweet that the major event is when he slips off his flip-flop sandal and cuts his foot. But that’s quickly remedied by mixing up another margarita in the blender.
He may be “wasting away,” but at least it’s in a blissful tropical paradise.
