An Occasional Man Lyrics
An Occasional Man - Anita O'Day/Cal Tjader
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've got 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
If you're unsure leave
And your face is kind of cute
Parharps by your leave
I can be your passiont froot
My little island is such of beauty
You may forget
To hear the call of duty
But if you give a slip
To your ship
Miss your trip
Take a tip and blame
An occasional day
