Lyrics:

Far away places with strange sounding names

Far away over the sea

Those far away places with strange sounding names

Are calling, calling me



Going to China or maybe Siam

I want to see for myself

Those far away places I've been reading about

In a book that I took from the shelf



I start getting restless whenever I hear

The whistles of a train

I pray for the day I can get under way

And look for those castles in Spain



Oh they call me a dreamer

Well maybe I am

But I know that I'm burning to see

Those far away places with strange sounding names

Calling, calling me
