Subject: RE: Margaritaville, most lucrative song ever
The first I heard of "the lost verse"

"Old men in tank tops,
Cruising the gift shops,
Checkout chakeetas down shore.
Dreaming of weight loss,
wish they could be their own boss,
These three day vacations become such a bore"

Was on the live Compilation "Jimmy Buffet Live! You had to be there. In the 1970's It had a lot of little parrot head nuggets like that on it including my introduction to Jimmy's more poetic, folkier side with great renditions of "He Went to Paris", "A Pirate looks at 40" and "The Captain and The Kid." All are sweet little biographies not out of place in any reasonably contemporary nautical song repertoire.

here is the URL for the album on You-tube, I hope it works for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG2W6wdMBnc
