Escape (Pina Colada Song) --- 2020-06-05

Key: D♯ min Lyrics: I was tired of my baby We'd been together too long Like a worn out recording Of a favorite song While I lay there sleeping I read the paper in bed And in the personal columns There was this letter I read "If you like piña coladas And getting caught in the rain If you're not into yoga And you have half a brain If you like making love at midnight In the dunes on the cape I'm the love that you've looked for Write to me, and escape" I didn't think about my baby I know that sounds kind of mean But me and my old baby 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" So I waited with high hopes And he walked in the place I knew his smile in an instant I knew the curve of his face It was my own lovely baby And he said, "Aw, it's you" Then we laughed for a moment And I said, "I never knew" "That you liked piña 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 on the cape You're the love I've looked for Come with me and escape"
