Far away places with strange sounding names Far away over the sea Those far away places with strange sounding names Calling, calling me Going to China or maybe Siam I want to see for myself Those far away places I've read all about In a book that I took from the shelf I start getting restless whenever I will hear The whistle woo-woo of a train I'll pray to see the day that 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 burning to see Those far away places with strange sounding names Calling, calling to me Calling, calling to me, calling to me
