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 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 (1)________ making love at midnight in the dunes of the cape
Then I'm the love (2)________ you've (3)____________ for, write to me and 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 (4)________ routine
So I wrote to the paper, took out a (5)________________ ad
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half bad

Yes, I like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain
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 (6)____________ O'Malley's where we'll plan our escape

So I waited (7)________ 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' (8)____________ in the rain
And the feel of the ocean and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at (9)________________ in the dunes on the cape
You're the lady I've looked for, (10)________ with me and escape

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 on the cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape
