Escape (The Pina Colada Song) lyrics by Rupert Holmes
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 personal columns
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�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 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
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 Pina 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
