There are so many fabulous far away places to see
Such as Mexico, Sweden, Hawaii, Japan and Capri
There are so many exciting and wonderful places
Mountains and jungles, deserts and oases
Pleasant as home is, it isn't what Rome is, so why stay there?

When there are so many fabulous faraway places to see
Why should Spain and Tahiti and Rio, just be only names to you and me?
I feel certain there's people we'd be glad to know there
So tell me why don't we get up and go there
Go to those fabulous places where we long to be

Like Bangkok, Hong Kong, Paris and Venice
Tokyo and Cairo and Lisbon and London
Wonderful fabulous places we're longing to see

There are so many simply incredible places to see
When I think of the warm Caribbean, I see a new world for you and me
I'd give anything just to have one single day there
And once we get there, I know that we'll stay there
Stay in those fabulous places where we long to be

Like Bangkok, Hong Kong, Paris and Venice
Tokyo and Cairo and Lisbon and London
Siam, Sienna, Vienna, Verona, Java, Jamaica, Bombay, Barcelona
Show me those fabulous places, we're longing to see
