I was tired of my lady
                       C
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 lady you've looked for 
So 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 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
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 making love at midnight
In the dunes of the cape
Tell the love that I've looked for
So come with me, and escape


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 lady you've looked for
Write to me, and escape
