Five names that I can hardly stand to hear
Including yours and mine and one more chimp who isn't here
I can see the ladies talkin', how the times are gettin' hard
And that fearsome excavation on Magnolia Boulevard

Yes, I'm goin' insane and I'm laughin' at the frozen rain
Well, I'm so alone, honey, when they gonna send me home?

Bad sneakers and a Piña Colada, my friend
Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City with a
Transistor and a large sum of money to spend

You fella, you tearin' up the street
You wear that white tuxedo, how you gonna beat the heat?
Do you take me for a fool, do you think that I don't see
That ditch out in the valley that they're diggin' just for me?

Yes, I'm (goin' insane)
You know I'm laughin' at the frozen rain
Well, I feel like I'm so (alone)
Honey, when they gonna send me home?

Bad sneakers and a Piña Colada, my friend
Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City with a
Transistor and a large sum of money to spend

You know (goin' insane) goin' insane
Yes, I'm laughin' at the frozen rain
And I'm so alone
Honey, when they gonna send me home?

Bad sneakers and a Piña Colada, my friend
Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City with a
Transistor and a large sum of money to spend
