Twentysix miles across the sea,
Santa Catalina is awaitin' for me,

Santa Catalina, the island of
romance, romance, romance, romance.
Water all around it ev'rywhere,

tropical trees and the salty air,
But for me the thing that's awaitin' there's
romance.

It seems so distant, twentysix miles away,
restin' in the water serene.
I'd work for anyone, even the Navy,

who would float me to my island dream.
Twentysix 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.

Twentysix miles across the sea,
Santa Catalina is awaitin' 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 for ever
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.

Twentysix miles across the sea,
Santa Catalina is awaitin' for me,
Santa Catalina, the island of

romance, romance, romance, romance,
