we'd been together too long
Like a worn- out recording,
So while she lay there sleeping,
And in the personals column,
there was this letter I read
"If you like Pina Coladas, and
getting caught in the rain
If you like making love at midnight,
in the dun es of the cape
I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me,
I didn't think about my lady,
I know that sounds kind of mean
had fallen into the same old dull routine
And though I'm nobody's poet,
I thought it wasn't half bad
"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting
I'm not much into health food,
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,
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
If you like making love at midnight,
I'm the love that you've looked
for, come with me, and escape
