When I was a young boy, my momma she said to me: There's only one girl in the world for you And she probably lives in Tahiti Or maybe in the Bahamas Where the Caribbean sea is blue Weepin' away in the tropical night Because nobody's told 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 YEAH!
Why am I hanging around in the rain out here Tryin' to think of a girl Why are my eyes fillin' up with these lonely tears When there's girls all over the world? Or is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere Underneat the tropical sun Hiding away in the heat wave there Hopin' that I won't be long?
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 [repeat] YEAH!
