     I was tired
 of my
   lady,  we'd  been together  too long  like  a worn out
 re-
   cording  of a  favourite  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
   Colada  and  gettin'  caught  in the rain if  you're  not
 into
   yoga If  you have  half a brain  if you  like  makin'
 love at
   midnight  in the dunes  of the  cape  I'm  the lady
 you've
   looked for  write  to me & 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  tho' 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'm  into Champagne.  I've  got  to meet
 you by
   tomorrow  noon,  and  cut thru  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
   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  makin'
 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,  & the feel
 of the
   ocean,  & the  taste of Champagne,  if  you like  makin'
 love
  at  midnight,  in  the dunes  of the cape  you're  the  love that
 I've
 
  looked for come with me and escape.
