Lyrics An Occasional Man - Sarah Vaughan

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 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, take your ship
Miss the trip, take a tip and blame
An occasional dame
