26 miles across the sea
Santa Catalina the island of romance
Romance romance romance
Water all around it everywhere
Tropical trees and the salty air
Romance
It seems so distant 26 miles away
Restin' in the water serene
I'd work for anyone even the Navy
Who would float me to my island dream
26 miles so near yet far
I could leave the wings but I'll need the guitar
For romance romance romance romance
26 miles across the sea
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
26 miles across the sea
Santa Catalina the island of romance
Romance romance romance
26 miles across the sea
Santa Catalina the island of romance
