What is the song about Tom Collins and Margarita? What album is it on?
Can I get the lyrics on line? Or did I just imagine the whole thing? I
hope not since I am going to Margarita Island in Venezuela. I hope that
is where the name of the drink comes from. I may meet some girl singers
there, teach them the song , and have them perform it for me and a few
others:)

Found a song by Patrick El-Hag. There's no Lou Reed song I know of with the
words Tom Collins.

Margarita's on the beach
El-Hag/Häggström/El-Hag

So you say, you will stay
Through the night and day
On this, some things depend
I will try - not to hide
All my secrets deep inside
I want you to meet my friends

Margarita's on the beach
Bloody Mary's there too
When Tom Collins' out of reach
Johnnie Walker will do

So you say, you will stay
Through the night and day
On this, some things - depend
I will try - not to hide
All my secrets deep inside
You'll have to accept my friends

Margarita' on the beach...

" - So tell me; who is Johnnie?
- What do you mean, who is Johnnie? You've just heard him, he is in the
band.
- You mean that famous jazz musician, Johnnie Walker... the bass player?
- That's the one.
- Is he your friend?
- One of my best friends.
- And where is Tom?
- He's always out of reach. We think he might have a serious drinking
problem.
- And what about the girls?
- Oh, you mean Mary and Margarita? They are at the bar.
- I thought you said they were on the beach.
- The BEACH BAR!
- Aaah."

Margarita's on the beach
(She's georgious. - She is.)
Bloody Mary's there too
(She look's dangerous! - She is.)
When Tom Collins' out of reach
(He look's drunk. - Mmm.)
Johnnie Walker will do...

Velvet Underground - Some Kinda Love Lyrics
Some kinds of love Marguerita told Tom Between thought and
expression lies a lifetime Situations arise because of the
weather and no kinds of love are better than others Some kinds
of love Margueirta told Tom like a dirty French novel the
absured courts the vulgar and some kinds of love the
possibilites are endless and for me to miss one would seem to be
groundless I head what you said Margueritat told Tom And of
course you're a bore But at that you're not charmless for a bore
is a straight line that finds a wealth in division and some
kinds of love are mistaken for vision Put jelly on your shoulder
Let us do what you fear most That from which you recoil but
which still makes your eyes moist Put jelly on your shoulder lie
down upon the carpet between thought and expression let us now
kiss the culprit I don't know just what it's all about Put on
your red pajamas and find out.
