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!



I'd go the whole wide world

[repeat to fade]
