Turn Left On Shaker Street

For some, It’s Margaritaville My town is called Martini It’s not so very hard to find in fact, it’s too damn easy Just hang a left on Shaker Street, the one right after Gin Then find Vermouth, go ‘round the block and do it all again It’s quite a lovely place to live and some may never leave For me, I visit way too much with Olive on my sleeve A happy sort of confidence so often will prevail until your head begins to pound like hammer to a nail So take a tip from me to you and come but for a while Martini Town is guaranteed to generate a smile
