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 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 Caribbean Sea is blue Weeping in the tropical moonlit night Because nobody's told her about 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 right 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 And is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere Underneath a tropical sun Pining away in a heatwave there Hoping that I won't be long I should be lying on that sun swept 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 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 Yeah! Whole world
