When I 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 Or maybe she's in the Bahamas Where the Carribean sea is blue Weeping away in the tropical 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 whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find where they hide her Why am I hanging around in the rain Trying to think of a girl? Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears When there's girls all over the world? Or is 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'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 the whole wide world Just to find where they hide her 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 the whole wide world Just to find where they hide her
