The Piña Colada by Rupert Holmes

I was tired of my lady, we'd been (1)________________ too long
Like a worn out recording of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleepin' I read the (2)__________ in bed
And in the personal columns, there was (3)________ letter I read

If you like piña (4)______________ and (5)______________ caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like (6)____________ love at midnight in the dunes of the cape
Then I'm the (7)________ that you've looked for, write to me and escape

I didn't think about my lady, I know that (8)____________ kind of mean
But me and my old lady had fallen (9)________ the (10)________ old dull routine

Yes, I (12)________ piña coladas and getting (13)____________ in the rain
I'm not (14)________ (15)________ 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 (16)__________ we'll plan our escape

So I waited with (17)________ (18)__________ and she walked in the place

Then we laughed for a moment and I said, "I never knew"

That you like piña (20)______________ and gettin' caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at (21)________________ in the dunes on the cape

If you like piña (25)______________ and getting caught in the rain
If you're not (26)________ yoga, if you have 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, (27)__________ to me and escape
