lyrics

Hemingway was known for drinking whiskey. Kerouac, he loved his Poor Boy wine. A Jack and Coke at quitting time- quite risky. But a cold beer hits the spot most anytime. Whether worker, writer, hobo or big spender, his drink will tell you what a man's about. Me, I take my courage from a blender. Now, before you judge me, please just hear me out.

CHORUS: One glass of pina colada tastes so sweet, two and you're lighter on your feet, three and you swear you've never tasted better. Four and it's all palm trees and sand, five, six, you're under her command, seven is heaven- now how did you get there? Eight, nine, the whole room starts to spin, and if you get to ten my friend, you'll never touch the stuff again. Pina colada...

I wish that I could tell you how it happened. See, I was raised a red blood male, straight and true. I can dress a perch and tinker with an engine, and clogs are what you pull from drains, they're not shoes. One night my wife she had the ladies over, and in a drunken state I picked up the wrong glass. I had only took one sis, son, when that first drop hit my lips. Now every bartender in town wants to kick my... butt... and all because...CHORUS

I could have chose Glen Fidditch, Maker's Mark or Tanqueray, but it had to be Bacardi. Now my friends all call me... 'Happy.' Suppose you were to ask me, 'should I try it?" Well, I'd say... first there are some things you need to know... CHORUS

One glass of pina colada tastes so fine, one more approaches the divine, three and you're glowing like Hawaiian Tropic. Four your caged bird starts to sing, five, six there goes your wedding ring. Seven's a tsunami, there's no way to stop it now. Eight, nine, she got you on your knees, one more and you'll be begging please. That's one King Kong of a brain freeze, pina colada...
