     []                                                         I was tired
of my

                                                           
       lady,         we'd been together too long            like a worn out
re-

                                                           
        cording               of a favourite song.         So while she lay
there

                                                           
        sleepin'        I read the paper in bed                and in the
personal

                                                   
      columns      there was this letter I read.               If you like
Pina

                                                           
       Colada     and gettin' 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 of the cape          I'm the lady
you've

                                                   
       looked for            write to me & escape!

     []                                                  I didn't think
about my

                                                           
       lady,     I know that sounds kind of 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 tho' 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 thru 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 

                                                   
        moment,               and I said, "I never knew,      that you liked

       Coladas    and getting caught in the rain.             And the feel
of the
