Nibblin' on sponge cake,
watchin' the sun bake;

All of those tourists covered with oil.
G
Strummin' my FOUR string,
on my front porch swing.
Smell those shrimp,
C C7

wasted a -way again

that there's a wo-man to blame,

but I know it's nobody's fault.
C
Don't know the reason,
stayed here all season
with nothing to show

but this brand new tat -too.
but it's a real beauty,

a Mexican cutie,
how it got here

I haven't a clue.

I blew out my flip flop,
stepped on a pop top;

G
But there's booze
in the blender,
and soon it will render
C C7
that frozen concoction that helps me hang on.
