Jeri Southern - An Occasional Man lyrics

rate me

I got an island<br />

In the Pacific<br />

And everything about it<br />

Is terrific<br />

<br />

I got the sun to tan me<br />

Palms to fan me<br />

And<br />

An occasional man<br />

<br />

I love my island<br />

It's very lazy<br />

If I should ever leave it<br />

I'd be crazy<br />

<br />

I've got papayas, <br />

Peaches, <br />

Sandy beaches, and<br />

An occasional man<br />

<br />

[CHORUS]<br />

When I go swimmin<br />

I am always dressed in style<br />

'Cause I go swimmin<br />

Wearin' just a great big smile<br />

<br />

My little island<br />

Was made for pleasure<br />

And in the cool of evening<br />

It's a treasure<br />

<br />

And when the hour grows later<br />

What is greater than<br />

An occasional man<br />

<br />

[Repeat CHORUS]<br />

<br />

My little island<br />

Is such a beauty<br />

You may forget<br />

To hear the call of duty<br />

<br />

But if you give a slip<br />

To your ship, <br />

Miss the trip, <br />

Take a tip and blame<br />

An occasional day
