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]
