escape the piña colada song

Rupert Holmes

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 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 on the Cape

You re the lady I ve looked for
Come with me and escape
