I Will Not Go Astray

I WILL NOT GO ASTRAY


I had fired off curses, you’d forever been strong.
Like a crapshoot endeavor of a serious wrong.
I know i’ll reap my sowing, so change of practice is best.
So I read biblical scripture, and then I confess.
How you craved sweetened bananas, and getting kissed at the play.
So you’re not into Polka, and you quite love to pray.
So you find married life your lifeline, and the joy of each day
I’m the husband you’ve yearned for, I will not go astray.
You’re lovely in my thoughts Dearest, this is what you pray to hear.
Like the sea with its heartbeat, a perfect angel you’re so right to endear.
Your eyes shine in the moonlight, skin pale as rapturous dove.
And with such fluttering verse, I should not forget my love.
How you loved sweetened bananas, and getting kissed at the play.
And the taste of crèpe suzette, and the flush of flambé.
We have our whole life of gravity’s pull, but for now my dear let's chill.
We will fly to Jupiter, all our dreams to fulfill.
And you with wide smile, trust each step that I take.
My arms and legs turn to rubber, love you so much I do shake.
And the waves are rushing forward, as my name you do call.
We are blessed with a treasure, I wrap up in heaven’s shawl.
How you loved sweetened bananas, and getting kissed at the play.
And the taste of crèpe suzette, and the flush of flambé.
So you find married life your lifeline, and the joy of each day
I’m the husband you’ve yearned for, I will not go astray.
How you craved sweetened bananas, and getting kissed at the play.
So you’re not into Polka, and you quite love to pray.
So you find married life your lifeline, and the joy of each day
I’m the husband you’ve yearned for, I will not go astray.

Lyrics to Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes

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 personals column, there was this letter I read:
"If you like Pina 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 of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."
I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
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.
"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."
So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve 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"..
"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."
"If you like Pina 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 of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."
