When I was a young boy My mama said to me There's only one girl in the world for you And probably lives Tahiti
I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her
Or maybe she's in Bahamas Where the Carribean sea 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 go the wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her
Why I hanging around in the rain out here to pick up a girl Why are my eyes filling up 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 year or maybe not quite We'll be sharing the same next of kin
I'd go the wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd go the whole wide I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her
