Escape (The Piña Colada Song) Songtext
von Jimmy & the Parrots

I was tired of my lady, we′d been together too long
Like a worn-out recordin' of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleepin′, I read the paper in bed
And in the personal column 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 one that you′ve looked for, write to me and escape"

I didn′t think about my lady, I know that sounds kinda 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
No, 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′Malleys, 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 she said, "I never knew"

"That you liked Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain
And the smell of the ocean and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes of the cape
You′re the one that I′ve looked for, come with me and escape"

If you like Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain
And the smell of the ocean and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes of the cape
You're the one that I′ve looked for, come with me and escape

If you like Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain
If you like Piña Coladas and the taste of champagne
If you like Piña Coladas, getting caught in the rain
