Gonna break out of this city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure is the type of life to find
Tired of doing day jobs with no thanks for what I do
I’m sure I must be someone
Now I’m gonna find out who

Why don’t you ask them what they expect from you
Why don’t you tell them what you are gonna do
You’ll get so lonely, maybe it’s better that way
It ain’t your only you’ve got something to say

Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do

Don’t need no politician tell me things I shouldn’t need
Neither no optician tell me what I ought to see
Noone tells you nothing even when you know they know
But they tell you what you should do
They don’t like to see you grow

Why don’t you ask them what they expect from you
Why don’t you tell them what you are gonna do
You’ll get so lonely, maybe it’s better that way
It ain’t your only you’ve got something to say

Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do

Gonna break out of this city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure is the type of life to find
Tired of doing day jobs with no thanks for what I do
I’m sure I must be someone
Now I’m gonna find out who

Why don’t you ask them what they expect from you
Why don’t you tell them what you are gonna do
You’ll get so lonely, maybe it’s better that way
It ain’t your only you’ve got something to say

Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do

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
