When i was a young boy my mother said 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 I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her Or maybe she's in the bahamas Where the caribbean sea is blue Weeping away in the tropical night Because nobody's told her about 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 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 Underneat the tropical sun Hiding away in the heat wave 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 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
