An Occasional Man

I've got an island in the Pacific,

And everything about it is terrific;

I've got the sun to tan me,

Palms to fan me,

And - an occasional man!

I love my island, it's very lazy,

If I should ever leave it I'd be crazy!

I've got papayas, peaches,

Sandy beaches,

And - an occasional man!

When I go swimmin',

I am always dressed in style,

'Cause I go swimmin'

Wearin' just a great big smile!

My little island was made for pleasure,

And in the cool of evening it's a treasure;

And when the hour grows later,

What is greater

Than - an occasional man!

My little island is such a beauty.

You may forget to heed the call of duty;

But if you give the slip

To your ship,

Miss the trip,

Take a tip

And blame -

An occasional dame!
