When I was a young boy My mama 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 go the whole wide world Just to find her
Or maybe in the 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 find her I'd go the whole wide world go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her
Why am I hanging around in 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 that sun-soaked beach with her Caressing her warm brown skin And then in a year or maybe not quite We'll be sharing the same next of kin
I'd go the whole wide world go the whole wide world Just find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her
