An Occasional Man

An Occasional Man - Sarah Vaughan (萨拉·沃恩)/Ernie Wilkins and His Orchestra

I've got an island in the Pacific

And every thing 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'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 is made for pleasure

And in the cool of evening it's a treasure

And when the day grows later what is greater than

An occasional man

My little island

Is such a beauty

You may forget

To hear the call of duty

But if you give a slip

To your ship

Miss the trip

Take a tip and blame

An occasional day
