Renaissance Man

He lived on an island
And drank from a shell
He ran with the locals
They knew him quite well [x2]

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 [x2]

His postcards will 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

For 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

He moved to the island
At age 43
He planned to retire
To a life on the sea
With plenty of [?]
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
For a renaissance man
He does well
