When I was a young boy
|
My mama said to me
|
There's only one girl in the world for you
|
But 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 Carribean sea is blue
|
Weeping in a tropical moonlit 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
|
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're girls all over the world
|
|
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 should be lying on that sun-soaked 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
|
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
|
Find out where they hide her
|
