[Verse]

          
I was tired of

          
 my lady,     

             
 we'd been tog

               
ether too long
           
Like a worn ou

           
t recording,  

           
   of a favori

       
te song
             
So while she l

/           
ay there sleep

          
in',    I read

             
 the paper in 

    
bed
           
And in the per

           
sonal columns,

            
     there was

             
 this letter I

      
 read


[Chorus]

             
If you like Pi

/        
na Colada,    

             
  and gettin' 

             
caught in the 

    
rain
           
If you're not 

          
into yoga,    

            
 if you have h

           
alf a brain
            
If you like ma

             
kin' love at m

         
idnight,    in

             
 the dunes of 

        
the cape
           
I'm the lady y

             
ou've looked f

          
or,     write

[Verse]

          
I didn't think

             
 about my lady

          
,     I know t

             
hat sounds kin

           
d of mean
           
But me and my 

         
old lady,     

             
 had fallen in

             
to the same ol

       
d dull routine
           
So I wrote to 

          
the paper,    

             
  took out a p

          
ersonal ad
              
And though I'm

          
 nobody's poet

          
,     I though

             
t it wasn't ha

       
lf bad


[Chorus]

             
Yes, I like Pi

/        
na Coladas,   

             
 and getting c

I've got to me

            
et you by tomo

           
rrow noon,    

             
 and cut thru

At a bar calle

[Verse]

          
So I waited wi

             
th high hopes,

          
     when she 

             
walked in the 

       
place
            
I knew her smi

            
le in an insta

          
nt,     I knew

             
 the curve of 

        
her face
           
It was my own 

           
lovely lady,  

           
    and she sa

              
id, "Oh, it's 

    
you"
           
And we laughed

            
 for a moment,

           
      and I sa

            
id, "I never k
