Preps Four - 26 Miles (Santa Catalina) lyrics

rate me

Twenty- six miles across the sea<br />

Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me<br />

Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance, romance<br />

<br />

Water all around it everywhere<br />

Tropical trees and the salty air<br />

But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there-romance<br />

<br />

It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away<br />

Restin' in the water serene<br />

I'd work for anyone, even the Navy<br />

Who would float me to my island dream<br />

<br />

Twenty- six miles, so near yet far<br />

I'd swim with just some water-wings and my guitar<br />

I could leave the wings but I'll need the guitar for romance, romance, romance,<br />

romance<br />

<br />

Twenty- six miles across the sea<br />

Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me<br />

Santa Catalina, the island of romance<br />

<br />

A tropical heaven out in the ocean<br />

Covered with trees and girls<br />

If I have to swim, I'll do it forever<br />

Till I'm gazin' on those island pearls<br />

<br />

Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat<br />

Any old thing that'll stay afloat<br />

When we arrive we'll all promote romance, romance, romance, romance<br />

<br />

Twenty- six miles across the sea<br />

Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me<br />

Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance, romance<br />

<br />

Twenty- six miles across the sea<br />

Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
