Whole Wide World

When I was a young boy, my mama said to me
There's only one girl in the world for you
And she's probably in Tahiti
Or Maybe she's in the Bahamas
Where the Caribbean Sea is blue
We've been in a tropical moonlight night
Cause nobody taught 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
To find out where they hide her

Why am I hanging around in the rain out 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 the tropical sun
Pining away in a heat wave there
Hoping that I won't be long
I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her
Caressing her warm brown skin
Then in a year or maybe not quite
We'll 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
