Jimmy Buffett (born December 25, 1946 in Gulf Shores, Alabama, United States) is a singer/songwriter, best known for his "island escapism" lifestyle and music including hits such as "Margaritaville" and "Come Monday". He has a rabid, but genial, cult following known as "Parrotheads." They call the youngest members "Parakeets."
Buffett has written three No. 1 best sellers. Tales from Margaritaville and Where Is Joe Merchant? both spent over seven months on the New York Times Best Seller fiction list.

Grapefruit-Juicy fruit ====================== By Jimmy Buffett
BCBC Grapefruit a bathin' suit F#G chew a little juicy fruit C wash away the night BCBC Drive-in you guzzle gin F#G commit a little mortal sin C it's good for the soul
(chorus:) Dm7G7Cmaj7C6 And oh it gets so damn lonely Dm7G7Cmaj7 when you're on a plane alone Dm7G7Cmaj7C6 And if I had the money honey I'd strap you in beside me D7G7 And never ever leave you leave you at home all along and cryin'
Ten speed no need My pickup gets me where I please Chuggin' down the street
But I'll be leavin' In a little while So close your eyes and I'll I'll be back real soon
solo (spoken: "Ah, take it Refers... Lady's choice, everybody dance...")
