When I was a young boybr My mama said to mebr There's only one girl in the world for youbr And she probably lives in Tahitibr br (I'd go the whole wide worldbr I'd go the whole wide worldbr Just to find her)br br Or maybe she's in the Bahamasbr Where the Carribean sea is bluebr Weeping in a tropical moonlit nightbr Because nobody's told her 'bout youbr br I'd go the whole wide worldbr I'd go the whole wide worldbr Just to find herbr I'd go the whole wide worldbr I'd go the whole wide worldbr Find out where they hide herbr br (Why am I hanging around in the rain out herebr Trying to pick up a girlbr Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tearsbr When there're girls all over the world)br br Is she lying on a tropical beach somewherebr Underneath the tropical sunbr Pining away in a heatwave therebr Hoping that I won't be longbr br I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with herbr Caressing her warm brown skinbr And then in a year or maybe not quitebr We'll be sharing the same next of kinbr br I'd go the whole wide worldbr I'd go the whole wide worldbr Just to find herbr I'd go the whole wide worldbr I'd go the whole wide worldbr Find out where they hide her
