[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

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 swimming
I am always dressed in style
'Cause I go swimming
Wearing just a great big smile

[Verse 2]
My little island was made for pleasure
And in the cool of evening it's a treasure
And when the hours grow later what is greater than
An occasional man

[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
My little island is such a beauty
You may forget to heed the call of duty
But if you give the slip
Take your ship
Miss the trip
Take a tip
And blame an occasional dame
