Die Toten Hosen Whole Wide World Lyrics

Whole Wide World Lyrics





[Originally by Wreckless Eric]



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 

Go the whole wide world just to find her 



Or maybe she's in the Bahamas 

Where the Caribean Sea is blue 

Weeping in the tropical moonlit night 

Because nobody's talking about you 



I'd go the whole wide world 

Go the whole wide world just to find her 

I'd go the whole wide world 

Go the whole wide world 

To find out where they hide her 

I'd go the whole wide world 

Go the whole wide world just to find her 



Why am I hanging around in the rain right 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 a tropical sun 

Pining a way in a heat wave there 

Hoping that I won't be long 

I should be lying on that sun swept 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 

Go the whole wide world just to find her. 

I'd go the whole wide world 

Go the whole wide world 

To find out where they hide her 



I'd go the whole wide world 

Go the whole wide world just to find her 

I'd go the whole wide world 

Go the whole wide world 

To find out where they hide her 



Yeah! 

Whole wide world 

Whole wide world
