Whole Wide World by The Proclaimers
When I was a young boy, mama she said to me,
"There's only one girl in the world for you,
But 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 Caribbean Sea is blue,
Weeping away in a tropical moonlight night, because nobody's told about 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.
I'd go the whole wide world,
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her.

Why I’m hanging around in the rain out here, trying to pick up a girl
Why are my eye’s filling up with these lonely tears, when there's
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?
I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her caressing her soft
brown skin And then in a year or maybe not quiet 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 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.
I'd go the whole wide world (Repeated to fade)
