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 whistle of a train
I pray for the day I can get underway
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
