Abbey Lincoln - An Occasional Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[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

[Bridge]
When I go swimmin'
I am always dressed in style
'Cause I go swimmin'
Wearin' just a great big smile

[Verse 3]
My little island was made for pleasure
And in the cool of the evening it's a treasure
And when the hour grows later
What is grеater than
An occasional man
[Verse 4]
My little island is such a beauty
You may forgеt 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

[Outro]
An occasional dame
An occasional dame
An occasional dame
