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
Twenty- six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin’ 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 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
It’s still waiting for me!
Well, there’s the Buddy Rogers/Pirate Party version
And the pre-Jolson Puccini version/inspiration, here by Placido Domingo
Leave it to you Tim, for a really big shoe…. thank you!….:-)
From Florida, an article on Avalon and Catalina Island. Errol’s in there, and island guide Lili Dana.
