When I was a young boy<br />My mama said to me<br />There's only one girl in the world for you<br />And she probably lives in Tahiti<br /><br />(I'd go the whole wide world<br />I'd go the whole wide world<br />Just to find her)<br /><br />Or maybe she's in the Bahamas<br />Where the Carribean sea is blue<br />Weeping in a tropical moonlit night<br />Because nobody's told her 'bout you<br /><br />I'd go the whole wide world<br />I'd go the whole wide world<br />Just to find her<br />I'd go the whole wide world<br />I'd go the whole wide world<br />Find out where they hide her<br /><br />(Why am I hanging around in the rain out here<br />Trying to pick up a girl<br />Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears<br />When there're girls all over the world)<br /><br />Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere<br />Underneath the tropical sun<br />Pining away in a heatwave there<br />Hoping that I won't be long<br /><br />I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her<br />Caressing her warm brown skin<br />And then in a year or maybe not quite<br />We'll be sharing the same next of kin<br /><br />I'd go the whole wide world<br />I'd go the whole wide world<br />Just to find her<br />I'd go the whole wide world<br />I'd go the whole wide world<br />Find out where they hide her
