I got an island
In the Pacific
And everything about it

Is terrific

I 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

[CHORUS]

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

[Repeat CHORUS]


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
