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 Tahiti |
|
I'd go the whole wide world |
|
I'd go the whole wide world |
|
Just to find her |
|
Or maybe she's in the Bahamas |
|
Where the Carribean sea is blue |
|
Weeping in a tropical moonlit 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 |
|
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're girls all over the world |
|
Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere |
|
Underneath the tropical sun |
|
Pining away in a heatwave there |
|
Hoping that I won't be long |
|
I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her |
|
Caressing her warm brown skin |
|
And 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 |
|
Find out where they hide her |
