An Occasional Man

An Occasional Man - Chita Rivera

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 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 hour grows later

What is greater than

An occasional man

I've got papayas

Peaches

Sandy beaches and

An occasional man

When I go swimmin'

I am always dressed in style

'Cause I go swimmin'

Wearin' 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

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
