Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

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 sleepin'
 I read the paper in bed
 And in the personal columns
 There was this letter I read
 If you like piña coladas
 And gettin' caught in the rain
 If you're not into yoga
 If you have half a brain
 If you like makin' 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 kinda mean
 But me and my old lady
 Had 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 piña coladas
 And gettin' 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 piña coladas
 And gettin' caught in the rain
 And the feel of the ocean
 And the taste of champagne
 If you like making love at midnight
 In the dunes on the cape
 You're the lady I've looked for
 Come with me and escape"
 ♪
 If you like piña coladas
 And gettin' caught in the rain
 If you're not into yoga
 If you have half a brain
 If you like making love at midnight
 In the dunes on the cape
 I'm the love that you've looked for
 Write to me and escape
 Yes, I like piña coladas
 And gettin' 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
