Far away places with strange soundin' names Far away over the sea Those far away places with the strange soundin' names Are callin', callin' me
Goin' to China or maybe Siam I want to see for myself Those far away places I've been readin' about In a book that I took from the shelf
I start gettin' restless whenever I hear The whistle of a train I pray for the day I can get underway And look for those castles in Spain
They call me a dreamer, well, maybe I am But I know that I'm burnin' to see Those far away places with the strange soundin' names Callin', callin' me
I pray for the day when I'll find a way Those far away places to see Those far away places with the strange soundin' names Callin', callin' me Callin', callin', callin' me
