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 . . .
