An Occasional Man

(альбом: In The Land Of Hi-Fi - 1955)

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've got an 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 swimming
I am always dressed in style
'Cause I go swimming
Wearing 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

If you're on shore leave
And your face is kinda cute
Perhaps, by your leave
I can be you passion fruit

My little island is such a beauty
You may gorget to heed the call of duty
But if you give the slip
To your ship
Miss your trip
Take a tip
And blame
An occasional dame
