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 . . .
