All of the songs on A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean were written or co-written by Buffett.. The most well-known song of the album, the novelty "Why Don't We Get Drunk (and Screw)", was originally released as a B-side, backing the single "The Great Filling Station Holdup", and inspired some controversy at the time due to its lyrics.
