She came down from the mainland
Lookin' for a quiet holiday
She'd been working way too hard
She wanted to get away

She was more of the conservative type
Wanted to read her books all alone
But one trip to the tiki bar
She never made it home

Blame it on the margaritas, blame it on the rum
Blame it on the moonlight, blame it on the sun
Blame it on the ocean; it's so very blue
Blame it on anything; just don't blame it on you

Her boss up north keeps calling
Says you've got to get back home
She thought for a minute and then she did it
In the ocean went her phone

Now she wakes up every morning
Grinnin' ear to ear
Sellin' sea shells on the beach
Is her new career

Blame it on the margaritas, blame it on the rum
Blame it on the moonlight, blame it on the sun
Blame it on the ocean, it's so very blue
Blame it on anything; just don't blame it on you

Another plane is landing
Someone is getting off
Their life's about to change
In a way they never thought

They'll sit by the ocean
And feel the gentle breeze all day
They'll look in the sky, wave at their plane going by
Cause they're becoming another castaway

Blame it on the margaritas, blame it on the rum
Blame it on the moonlight, blame it on the sun
Blame it on the ocean, it's so very blue
Blame it on anything; just don't blame it on you
Don't blame it on you
Don't blame it on you
