Faraway places With strange soundin' names
Faraway over the sea
Those faraway places With the strange soundin' names Are callin', callin' me
Goin' to China Or maybe Siam
I want to see for myself
Those faraway places I've been readin' about In a book that I took from a shelf
I start getting 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 faraway places With the strange soundin' names
Callin', callin' me...
