Whole Wide World (Unpeeled)

When I was a young buck

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 Caribean Sea is blue

Weeping in a tropical moonlit night

Because nobody's talking 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 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 some tropical beach somewhere

Underneath a tropical sun

Pining a way in a heat wave 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 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
