When I was a young boy My mama said to me There's only one girl in the world you And she probably lives in Tahiti
go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her
Or maybe she's in the Bahamas Where the Carribean is blue Weeping in a tropical moonlit night Because nobody's told her 'bout you
I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her
Why am I hanging around the rain out here Trying to pick up a girl Why are my eyes filling with these lonely tears When there're girls all over the world
she lying on a tropical beach somewhere Underneath the tropical sun Pining away in a heatwave there Hoping that I won't be long
I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her Caressing her warm brown skin then in a or maybe not quite We'll be sharing the same next of kin
I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the wide world Just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her
