(Joan Whitney - Alex Kramer)

Far away places with strange sound and names
Far away over the sea
Those far away places with the strange sound and names
Are callin' callin' 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 burning to see
Those far away places with the strange soundin' names
Callin' callin' me...
