Escape The Pina Colada Song lyrics

Escape (The Pina 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 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
