Escape (The Pina Colada Song) |
I was tired of my lady |
We'd been togehter 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 of the Cape, |
Then I'm the love you've looked for: |
Write to me and escape." |
I didn't think about my lady |
I know I sound 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 out escape." |
So I waited with high hopes |
And she walked into 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. |
