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 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 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, 
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, a
nd I said, "I never knew"

"That you liked Pina Coladas, 
and getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean, a
nd 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, 
nd 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 love that you've looked for, 
come with me, and escape"
