When was a young boy My mama said to me There's only one girl in the world for you And she probably lives in Tahiti
I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just find her
Or maybe she's in the 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 her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out they hide her
Why am I hanging around in the rain out here Trying to pick a girl Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears When there're girls all over the world
Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere Underneath the tropical Pining away in a heatwave there Hoping that I be long
I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her Caressing her 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 I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her
