When I was a young boy, my mama said to me There's only one girl in the world for you And she's probably in Tahiti Or Maybe she's in the Bahamas Where the Caribbean Sea is blue We've been in a tropical moonlight night 'Cause nobody taught her 'bout you I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world To 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's girls all over the world Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere Underneath the tropical sun Pining away in a heat wave there Hoping that I won't be long I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her Caressing her warm brown skin Then in a year or maybe not quite We'll be sharing the same next of kin I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world To find out where they hide her I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd call go the whole wide world, I'd call go the whole wide world To find out where they hide her
