Dennis East Lyrics - Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

Dennis East - Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

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
In the personal columns
There was this letter I read

If you like piña coladas
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 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 O'Malley's
Where we'll plan our escape

Then 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

There 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 piña coladas
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
I'm the love that you've looked for
Write with me, and escape

Do you like piña coladas?
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
I'm the love that you've looked for
Write with me, and escape
