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
