Those 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 called me a dreamer, well maybe I am
But I know that I'm longin' to see
Those far away places with the strange-soundin' names
Callin', callin' me
Callin', callin' me
