[Hook]

             
I didn't think

            
 about my lady

      
,
             
I know that so

          
unds kind of m

  
ean
             
But me and my 

               
old lady
             
Had fallen int

          
o the same old

     
 dull routine
             
So I wrote to 

                   
the paper
             
Took out a per

                          
sonal ad
              
And though I'm

                        
 nobody's poet
             
I thought it w

                 
asn't half bad

             
Yes, I like Pi

                   
na Coladas,
             
And getting ca

              
ught in the ra

        
in
             
I'm not much i

[Hook]

             
So I waited wi

Yhen she walke

nt,
             
I knew the cur

          
ve of her face

  
.
             
It was my own 

            
lovely lady,
             
And she said, 

         
"Oh, it's you!


"
             
And we laughed

             
 for a moment,
            
And I said, "I

    
 never knew,
