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 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      (I pray for the day when I'll find a way   Those far away places to see)      Those far away places with the strange-soundin' names   Callin', callin' me
