verse 
Water all around it everywhere 
Tropical trees and the salty air 
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there-romance 
refrain 1 
 -1   -1  -3  -3     3  -3  3   1   -1  1 
Seems so dist-ant, twen-ty-six miles a-way

Rest-in' in the wat-er se-rene

I'd work for any-one, ev-en the Nav-y 
 -3     4   4   4  4 -4  -3    3
Who’d float me to my is-land dream 

verse 
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 

refrain 2 
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 

Twenty- six miles across the sea 
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
