Whole Wide World

[Verse 1] When I was a young boy My mama said to me: "There's only one girl in the world for you And she probably lives in Tahit" [Chorus] I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world just to find her [Verse 2] Or maybe she lives in the Bahamas Where the Caribbean Sea is blue Weeping in a tropical, moonlit night Because nobody's talking about you [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Why am I hangin' around in the rain out here Tryin' to pick up a girl? Why are my eyes fillin' up with these lonely tears When there's girls all over the world? Or is she lyin' on a tropical beach somewhere Underneath the tropical sun? Hiding away in a heat-wave there Hoping that I won't be long I should be lyin' on that sun-lit beach with her Caressing her warm, brown skin And at the end of the year, or maybe not quite We'll be sharing the same next-of-kin [Chorus] 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
