When I was a young boy, mama she said to me,
	   E		      A
"There's only one girl in the world for you,
	E		    A
But she probably lives in Tahiti."
	     E
I'd go the whole wide world, 
					A       E     A

Or maybe she's in the Bahamas, where the Caribbean Sea is blue,
E		    A		    E                        A

	     E
I'd go the whole wide world,
						      A
I'd go the whole wide world to find out where they hide her. 
	     E
I'd go the whole wide world, 
					A
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her.

Why are my eye’s filling up with these lonely tears, when there's
E                     A
girl’s all over the world.

Well 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?
          E                             A             E   
I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her caressing her soft
