The Piña Colada by Rupert Holmes

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long
Like a worn out recording of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleepin' I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns, there was (1)________ (2)____________ I read

If you like piña coladas and 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
Then I'm the (3)________ that you've (4)____________ for, (5)__________ to me and escape

I didn't think (6)__________ 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 though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half bad

Yes, I like (7)__________ coladas and getting (8)____________ in the rain
I'm not (9)________ into (10)____________ food, I am into champagne
I've got to (11)________ you by tomorrow noon and cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malley's where we'll (12)________ our escape

So I waited with high hopes and she walked in the place
I (13)________ her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely (14)________ and she said, "oh, it's you"
Then we (15)______________ for a moment and I said, "I never knew"

That you (16)________ piña coladas and gettin' caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean and the (17)__________ of champagne
If you like (18)____________ love at midnight in the dunes on the cape
You're the lady I've looked for, come (19)________ me and escape

If you like (20)__________ coladas and (21)______________ (22)____________ in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you (23)________ half a brain
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape
