When I was a young boy My mama said to me There's only girl in the world for you And she probably lives in Tahiti
I'd the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to 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
go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to 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 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 her warm brown skin And then in a year or maybe not quite We'll be sharing the next of kin
I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide Just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her
