Remembering one of the greatest talents
who made Margaritaville a real place
and help make our world a better place
Jimmy Buffett is gone today
The news has shocked our brains
The world has lost a cherished soul
The thought is just insane
He gave us so much joy and love
With every note in the songs he wrote
To think we’ll never sing and dance with him
Has truly rocked our boat
We know in time we all must pass
That is life’s way for all the mass
Still Jimmy Buffett was a special man
He was the leader of our band
Can we ever understand or reason
When a special soul plays his last season
Is there no one who gets a mortal leave
Like our Jimmy who was born to please
As a Parrot Head through and through
I’m writing this for me and you
So others who have joined our clan
We’ll join to remember this great man
To celebrate his songs with pride
To jump and dance and take the ride
At five o’clock no matter where
We’re sure he will be watching there
To hear us sing his endless songs
That make us feel not one thing’s wrong.
