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." |
|
I'd go the whole wide world |
|
Go the whole wide world just to find her |
|
Or maybe she's in the Bahamas |
|
Where the Caribean Sea is blue |
|
Weeping in the tropical moonlit night |
|
Because nobody's talking about you |
|
I'd go the whole wide world |
|
Go the whole wide world just to find her |
|
I'd go the whole wide world |
|
Go the whole wide world |
|
To find out where they hide her |
|
I'd go the whole wide world |
|
Go the whole wide world just to find her |
|
Why am I hanging around in the rain right here |
|
Trying to pick up a girl |
|
Why are my eyes |
|
Filling up with these lonely tears |
|
When there's girls all over the world |
|
Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere |
|
Underneath a tropical sun |
|
Pining a way in a heat wave there |
|
Hoping that I won't be long |
|
I should be lying on that sun swept beach with her |
|
Caressing her warm, brown skin |
|
And then in a year or maybe not quite |
|
We'll be sharing the same next of kin |
|
I'd go the whole wide world |
|
Go the whole wide world just to find her. |
|
I'd go the whole wide world |
|
Go the whole wide world |
|
To find out where they hide her |
|
I'd go the whole wide world |
|
Go the whole wide world just to find her |
|
I'd go the whole wide world |
|
Go the whole wide world |
|
To find out where they hide her |
|
Yeah! |
|
Whole wide world |
|
Whole wide world |
