When I was a young boy My mama said to There's only one girl in the world for you And she probably lives in Tahiti
I'd go the whole wide world go the whole wide world Just to find her
Or maybe she's in the Bahamas Where the Carribean sea is blue Weeping in a tropical moonlit night Because nobody's her 'bout you
I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her
Why am hanging around in the rain out here Trying to pick up a girl Why are my eyes filling up with lonely tears When there're girls all over the world
Is she lying on a tropical 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 warm brown skin And 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 whole wide world Just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go whole wide world Find out where they hide her
