Captain Jack - Escape (Pina Colada Song) lyrics

rate me

I was tired of my lady

We'd been together too long

Like a worn out recording

So while she lay there sleeping

I read the paper in bed

And in a 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 makin' love at midnight in the dunes on the cape

I'm the love that you looked for: Write to me and escape

I didn't think about my lady

I know it 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'm 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 plan our escape

So I waited with high hopes

And she walked into 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 and getting caught in the rain

And the feel the of the ocean, and the taste of champagne

If you'd like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape

You're lady I've looked for, come with me and escape

That you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain

And the feel the of the ocean, and the taste of champagne

If you'd like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape

You're lady I've looked for, come with me and escape
