Whole Wide World

When I was a young boy

My mama said to me

There's only one girl in the world for you

She probably lives in Tahiti

I'd go the whole wide world

I'd go the whole wide world just to find her

Maybe she lives in Bahamas

Where the Caribbean sea is blue

Weepin' in the tropical moon-lit night

because nobody's talkin'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

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

tryin' to think of a girl

Why are my eyes fillin' up with these lonely tears

when these girls are all over the world

Is she lying on the tropical beach somewhere

under the tropical sun

Hiding away in the heat wave there

Hopin' that I won't be long

I should be lying on that sun-lit beach with her

Caressing her warm brown skin

And then in a year or maybe not quite

We will 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
