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 . . .
