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 the 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.
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.(x2)(Fade)
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
