I was tired of my Dady, we’d been together too Along.
Like a worn-out reDcording, of a favorAite song.
So while she lay there sleDeping, I read the paper Ain bed.
And in the personals cDolumn, there was this letter AI read:

“If you like Pina CDoladas, and getting caught in the Arain.
If you’re not into Dyoga, if you have half-a-Abrain.
If you like making love at mDidnight, in the dunes of tAhe cape.
I’m the lady you’ve lookDed for, write to me, anAd escape.”

I didn’t think about myD lady, I know that sounds kind ofA mean.
But me and my old Dlady, had fallen into the same old dAull routine.
So I wrote to the pDaper, took out a personaAl ad.
And though I’m nobodDy’s poet, I thought it wasn’t haAlf-bad.

“Yes, I like Pina CoDladas, and getting caught in the Arain.
I’m not much into health Dfood, I am into chaAmpagne.
I’ve got to meet you by tomoDrrow noon, and cut through all this Ared tape.
At a bar called O’MDalley’s, where we’ll plan our Aescape.”

So I waited with high Dhopes, then she walked in the Aplace.
I knew her smile in an Dinstant, I knew the curve of her Aface.
It was my own lovely lDady, and she said, “Oh, it’s youA.”
And we laughed for a Dmoment, and I said, “I never kneAw”.

“That you liked Pina ColDadas, and getting caught in the raAin.
And the feel of the oDcean, and the taste of cAhampagne.
If you like making love at mDidnight, in the dunes of the Acape.
You’re the love that I’ve looked Dfor, come with me, and eAscape.”

“If you like Pina CDoladas, and getting caught in the rAain.
If you’re not into Dyoga, if you have half-a-Abrain.
If you like making love at miDdnight, in the dunes of the Acape.
You’re the love that I’ve looDked for, come with me, anAd escape.”
