Barmaid, play me some Buffet. I'm in a mood to get away, so pour me a vacation. I need to leave here right away. I gotta get down by the ocean, if it's only in my mind. Take me out to paradise, if only for tonight, I can leave it all behind. It's Friday night here in the big town. It's so routine it starts to bore. Same old lies and songs and stories that I heard the week before. I want to hear about the islands, about pirates and rum. Don't want to think about tomorrow, not until tomorrow comes. So barmaid, play me some Buffet. I'm in a mood to get away, so pour me a vacation. I need to leave here right away. I gotta get down by the ocean, if it's only in my mind. Take me out to paradise, if only for tonight, I can leave it all behind. It's up to you, barmaid, to save me, put me on my coastal trail. I've been landlocked here so long, that it's high time that I set sail. You know I can't afford the air fare, so put umbrellas in my drink. I'll waste away in Margaritaville, and pray this boat don't sink. Barmaid, play me some Buffet. I'm in a mood to get away, so pour me a vacation. I need to leave here right away. I gotta get down by the ocean, if it's only in my mind. Take me out to paradise, if only for tonight, I can leave it all behind. Take me out to paradise, if only for tonight, I can leave it all behind. End
