Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

I was tired of my lady

We'd been together too long

Like a worn-out recordin'

Of a favorite song

So while she lay there sleepin' (tonight's behind)

I read the paper in bed

And in the personal columns

There was this letter I read, it said-

"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 like making love at midnight

In the dunes of the cape

Then I'm the one that you've looked for

So write to me and escape"

I didn't think about my lady (lady)

I know that sounds kinda mean

But me and my old lady (lady, 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 (so what you say?)

"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 Kilroy's (Kilroy'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" (never knew what?)

"That you liked piña coladas (I do)

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 lady I've looked for

Come with me and escape"
