Escape (The Pina Colada Song)
+
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 Piña 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 Piña 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 Piña 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
+
