Pina Colada Lyrics
I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a worn-out
recording
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping
I read the
paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I
read
"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If
you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at
midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked
for
Write to me and escape."
I didn't think about my lady
I know
that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady
Have fallen into the same
old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And
though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad
"Yes I like Pina
Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I
am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through
all this red-tape
At a bar called O'Malley's
Where we'll plan our
escape."
So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I
knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own
lovely lady
And she said, "Oh it's you."
Then we laughed for a
moment
And I said, "I never knew."
That you like Pina
Coladas
Getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the
taste of champagne
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes of
the Cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and
escape
repeat chorus twice and fade out
