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 pina coladas and getting 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 of 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 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 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, "Aw, it's you."
|
Then we laughed for a moment and I said, "I never knew."
|
|
That you like pina 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 pina coladas and getting 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
|
Then I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape
|
|
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
|
