Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got an island in the Pacific
And everything about it is terrific
I got the sun to tan me
Palms to fan me and
An occasional man
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
When I go swimming
I'm always dressed in style
'Cause I go swimming
Wearing just a great big smile
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
An occasional man
[Verse 6]
If you're on shore leave
And your face is kinda cute
Perhaps by your leave
I can be your passion fruit
[Verse 7]
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
An occasional man
An occasional man
