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 wanna see for myself . . . Those far away places, I've been readin' about, in a book that I took from a shelf . . .
I start gettin' restless whenever I hear the whistle of a train . . . I pray for the day I can get under way 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 . . .
