My Parody of Margaritaville By Jimmy Buffett

I've become a potato
and my couch is groanin
every time I stand up or sit down
my mind is all hazy
cause I'm gettin lazy
think I've gained about 25 pounds

Wastin away again because I'm quarantined
can't even go see my girl anymore
I swear to God, that I am goin insane
and I know, it's a socialist plot...

I don't have cable
no internet either
over the air is all I can get
my game systems broken
and man I aint jokin
even the service is out on my phone...

Wastin away again because I'm quarantined
can't even talk to my friends in the yard
I swear to God, that I am goin insane
and I know, it's a communist plot...

I've become my own jailer
locked in this trailer
cabinfever is comin on strong
I talk to my daisies
so I must be crazy
somebody save me before it's to late...

Wastin away again because I'm quarantined
regulations limit what I can do
I swear to God, that I am goin insane
and I know, it's the democrats plot...

Hope Jimmy Buffett doesn't sue me...bwahahahaha

Very humerous! Love it! Get outdoors into the mountain trails. That’s what keeps me sane :)

You should put this to music in your yard of daisies and post it on YouTube. You would get a lot of hits. Well done RW, bless you kelli
