26 Miles (Santa Catalina)

26 miles across the sea

Santa Catalina is 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 waitin' there

Romance

It seems so distant, 26 miles away

(Mm tropical, mm tropical)

Restin' in the water serene

(Mm tropical, mm tropical)

(Mm tropical, mm tropical)

I'd work for anyone, even the navy

(Ah-ah)

Who would float me to my island dream?

26 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

26 miles across the sea

Santa Catalina is waitin' for me

Santa Catalina, the island of romance

A tropical heaven out in the ocean

(Mm tropical, mm tropical)

Covered with trees and girls

(Mm tropical, mm tropical)

If I have to swim, I'll do it forever

(Mm tropical, mm tropical)

Till I'm gazin' on those island pearls

(Ah)

40 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 is waitin' for me

Santa Catalina, the island of romance

Romance, romance, romance

26 miles across the sea

(Romance, romance, romance, romance)

(Romance, romance, romance, romance)

Santa Catalina is waitin' for me

26 miles across the sea

(Romance, romance, romance, romance)
