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

Or maybe she's in the Bahamas

Where the Caribbean Sea is blue

Weeping in the tropical moonlit night

Because nobody's talking '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

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 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 sunlit 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 wide
