He lived on an island and drank from a shell
He ran with the locals
They knew him quite well
They knew him quite well

He stayed up all night
With a pen in his hand
A bottle beside him, and a lamp on a stand
It lit up the sand
It lit up the sand

His postcards would tell you
He's doing quite well
Folks miss him back home,
But he stays for the smell
He stays for the smell
On the island, that is

He does well for a Renaissance Man

Before El Dorado
He lent out a hand
He was gone for a while
But came back for the band
He came back for the band

Moved to the island at age forty
He planned to retire to a life on the sea
With plenty of green
It's all that he needs

Some people say that he's got a big head
He's currently single, though twice he's been wed
And he kept all the bread
On the island, that is

He does well for a Renaissance Man
He does well
