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 want to see for myself
 Those far away places I've been readin' about
 In a book that I took from the shelf

 I start gettin' 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 far away places with the strange-soundin' names
 Callin', callin' me

 (I pray for the day when I'll find a way
 Those far away places to see)

 Those far away places with the strange-soundin' names
 Callin', callin' me
