verse
Twenty- six miles, so near yet far
I’d swim with just some water-wings and my guitar
I could leave the wings but
I’ll need the guitar for romance,
romance, romance, romance

Twenty- six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin’ for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance

refrain 2
A tropical heaven out in the ocean
Covered with trees and girls
If I have to swim, I’ll do it forever
Till I’m gazin’ on those island pearls

Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat
Any old thing that’ll stay afloat
When we arrive we’ll all promote romance,
romance, romance, romance

Twenty- six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin’ for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance,
romance, romance, romance

Twenty- six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin’ for me
