(the tune is "Escape" or better known as "The Pina
Colada Song"
I was tired of my lady, we'd been partners too long.
Our illusions were boring, and no longer played
strong.
So while she fed the pigeons, I read the Genii in bed.
And in the help wanted section, there was this letter
I read:
"If you like Harry Houdini, one handed cuts in the
rain.
If you're not into strippers, if you've read "The
TRICK BRAIN."
"If being handcuffed at midnight, doesn't make you
yell rape,
I'm the partner you've looked for, come and try to
escape."
I didn't think about my partner, I know that sounds
kind of mean.
But our bookings had dried up,and couldn't come up
with good new
routine.
So I wrote out a letter, in response to the ad.
And though I'm not Eugene Burger, I thought it wasn't
half-bad.
"Yes, I like Harry Houdini, one handed cuts in the
rain,
I'm not much into trick decks, I am into Lorayne.
We've got to rehearse by tomorrow noon; I'll tie you
up in red tape.
At a dive called the Castle, we'll premiere our
escape."
So I had all my props there, then she walked in the
place.
I knew her walk in an instant, the way she posed with
such grace.
It was my own lovely partner, and she said, "Oh, it's
you."
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never
knew"..
"That you liked Harry Houdini, one handed cuts in the
rain.
And the feel of hot leather, when you're bound by a
chain.
If you get out the handcuffs, I will get out my cape.
This is the act that I've dreamed of, now let's do
this escape."
"If you like Harry Houdini, one handed cuts in the
rain.
And the feel of hot leather, when you're bound by a
chain.
If you wanna handcuff me, I sure won't cry out rape.
You're the partner that I've looked for, I don't want
to escape."
