Below, you will find the lyrics for The Banana Splits by Articolo 31.
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 ev'rywhere
Tropical trees and the salty air
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there's 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 can 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
Romance, romance, romance
Water all around it ev'rywhere
Tropical trees and the salty air
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there's romance
A tropical heaven out in the ocean covered with trees and girls
If I have to swim I'd 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
