Whole Wide World

When I was a young boy, my mamma said to me

There's only one girl in the world for you

And she's probably in Tahiti

Or maybe she's in the Bahamas

Where the Caribbean sea is blue

We've been in a tropical moonlight night

'Cause nobody taught her '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

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 the tropical sun

Pinning away in a heat wave there

Hoping that I won't be long

I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her

Caressing her warm brown skin

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
