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
