Escape (The Pina Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes
I was tired of my lady
We've 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 personals column
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
I'm the lady 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
Then 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
And we laughed for a moment
And I said I never knew
That you liked Pina Coladas
And getting 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 of the cape
You're the love
that 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 of the cape
I'm the lady you've looked for
Write to me and escape
Yes I like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
I'm not caught into yoga
I am into champagne
