@ellie1967
I've spent all evening trying to get that song, I could 'hear' the beat and the tune but couldn't get further than the lyrics posted !

Modern medicine falls short of your complaint
Try a little harder
You're moving in circles, won't you dilate?
Ooh, baby try
1980s

So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Thanks 👍🏻

Daffodil1967 · 03/10/2020 23:17

Sorry,
Meant to add
Is that something by Gilbert O’Sullivan ?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/10/2020 23:17

This is the first verse of the last one I posted. Although you'll all know it, not sure if you will recognise it from the verse above.

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 sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/10/2020 23:18

@Daffodil1967 if that was for me, no, sorry

Rupert or Randy someone

Daffodil1967 · 03/10/2020 23:20

The Pinacolada Song

Daffodil1967 · 03/10/2020 23:21

Ooops, too late Sad

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/10/2020 23:22

@shinynewapple2020 Yes, well done! Rupert Holmes 😊

The most well known verse:

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"
