whole wide world
When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
There's only one girl in the world for you
She probably lives in Tahiti
I'd go the whole wide world
I' d go the whole wide world just to find her
Maybe she lives in Bahamas
Where the Caribbean sea is blue
Weepin' in the tropical moon-lit night
because nobody's talkin'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 to find out where they hide her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her
Why am I hanging around in the rain out here
tryin' to think of a girl
Why are my eyes fillin' up with these lonely tears
when these girls are all over the world
Is she lying on the tropical beach somewhere
under the tropical sun
Hiding away in the heat wave there
Hopin' that I won't be long
I should be lying on that sun-lit beach with her
Caressing her warm brown skin
And then in a year or maybe not quite
We will be sharing the same next of kin
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 to find out 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 to find out where they hide her
