Far away places with strange sound and names far away over the sea
Those far away places with the strange sound and names are calling calling me
Go into 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 yearning to see
Those far away places with the strange sound and names calling calling me
