Faraway places with strange sounding names, faraway over the sea.

Those faraway places with the strange sounding names are calling, calling

me.

Going into China or maybe Siam, I want to see for myself

Those faraway places I've been reading about in a book that I took from

the 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, may I am, but I know that I'm burning to see

Those faraway places with strange sounding names, calling, calling me
