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 (1)__________ sleepin' I (2)________ the paper in bed
And in the (3)________________ columns, (4)__________ was this letter I read

If you like (5)__________ coladas and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making (6)________ at midnight in the dunes of the cape
Then I'm the (7)________ (8)________ you've looked for, write to me and escape

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds (9)________ of mean

That you (18)________ piña coladas and gettin' caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean and the (19)__________ of champagne

If you like piña coladas and (22)______________ caught in the rain
If you're not (23)________ yoga, if you have half a brain
If you (24)________ making love at midnight in the (25)__________ on the cape
Then I'm the love (26)________ you've looked for, write to me and escape
