Nibbling on sponge cake, watching the sun bake,
All of those tourists covered with oil,
Strumming my six string, on my front porch swing,
Smell those shrimp, they're beginning to boil.
CHORUS:
Wasting away again in Margaritaville,
Searching for my last 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 that I stayed here all season,
With nothing 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.
(CHORUS)
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.
(CHORUS)
Yes, some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
And I know it's my own damn fault.

Do you remember back in old LA (Oh, oh, oh)
When everybody drove a Chevrolet (Oh, oh, oh)
Whatever happened to the boy next door
Sun-tanned crew cut All American Male?
What ever happened at the high school hop?
I guess you should remember soda pop.
Ever think about the girl next door
With beat up sneakers and a pony tail?
Beach Baby Beach Baby Give me your hand
give me something that I can remember
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach Baby Beach Baby There on the sand
from July til the end of September
Surfin was fun we\'d be out in the sun every day
Ooooh, never thought that it could end
Ooooh, and I was everybody\'s friend,
Oh, Oh,
We couldn\'t wait til graduation day
We took the car and drove to San Jose
That\'s where you told me that you\'d wear my ring
I guess you don\'t remember anything.
Beach Baby Beach Baby Give me your hand
give me something that I can remember
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach Baby Beach Baby There on the sand
from July til the end of September
Surfin was fun we\'d be out in the sun every day
Got on board a westbound seven forty seven
Didn\'t think before deciding what to do
Ooh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true
CHORUS:
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I\'ve often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don\'t they warn ya
It pours, man it pours
Out of work, I\'m out of my head
Out of self respect, I\'m out of bread
I\'m underloved, I\'m underfed, I wanna go home
It never rains in California, but girl don\'t they warn ya
It pours, man it pours
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
Had offers but didn\'t know which one to take
Please don\'t tell \'em how you found me
Don\'t tell \'em how you found me
Gimme a break, give me a break
CHORUS
Did you write that??
Nope. Ancient 70\'s music
i dont get it and not happy everything is relevant to some and not to others...........at this point not impressed.......people hurt and genuinely and there is a time and place for everything..sad to say.....
I wish I knew what you meant Jopen. This is supposed to be uplifting music. Its about beaches and sunshine.
Give me some of that sponge cake sounds like its workin
I love those songs and yes I have them on albums DarkSign,I have about 600.
That\'s just what feeling your oats after 26 yrs of sleeplessness looks like. He\'s allowed.
