D
A
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad
D
A
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half bad
Pause...
D
A
Yes, I like pia coladas and getting caught in the rain
D
A
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne
D
A
I've got to meet you by tomorrow and cut through all this red tape
D
A
At a bar called O'Malley's where we'll plan our escape
Riff/Intro...
D
A
So I waited with high hopes and she walked in the place
D
A
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face
D
A
It was my own lovely lady and she said, "Aw, it's you."
D
A
Then we laughed for a moment and I said, "I never knew."
D
A
"I never knew" That you like pia coladas and gettin' caught in the rain
D
A
And the feel of the ocean and the taste of champagne
D
A
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape
D
A
You're the lady I've looked for, come with me and escape
D
A
If you like pia coladas and getting caught in the rain
D
A
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
D
A
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape
D
A
Then I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape
D
A
Yes I like pia coladas and getting caught in the rain
D
A
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne
D
A
I've got to meet you by tomorrow and cut through all this red tape
