The Piña Colada by Rupert Holmes

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long
Like a (1)________ 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 this letter 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

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

That you like piña coladas and gettin' caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean and the taste of champagne
If you (6)________ making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape
You're the lady I've looked for, (7)________ with me and escape

If you like piña (8)______________ and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have (9)________ a brain
If you like (10)____________ love at midnight in the dunes on the cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape
