Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance
Romance, romance, romance
Water all around it everywhere
Tropical trees and salty air
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there
Romance
It seems so distant twenty-six miles away
Restin' in the water serene
I'd work for anyone even the Navy
Who would float me to my island dream
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
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
Romance, romance, romance, romance
Romance, romance, romance, romance
Romance, romance, romance, romance
