California Soul

Like a sound you hear

That lingers in your ear

But you can't forget

From sundown to sunset

It's all in the air

You hear it everywhere

No matter what you do

It's gonna grab a hold on you

California soul, California soul

They say the sun comes up every morning

And if you listen oh so carefully

The winds that ride on the high time

Whistle in melody

And so the people started to sing

And that's how the surf gave birth untold

To California soul, California soul

When you hear the beat

You wanna pat your feet

And you've got to move cause

It's really such a groove

Puts a brand new kind of thinkin' in your mind

And you can't go wrong

'Cause you're groovin' all day long

California soul, California soul

They had the melody and the beat

But it still didn't seem complete

Until they saw two lovers kissin'

They knew just what was missin'

So happy they were rockin' and reelin

Because that added that lovin' feeling

To California soul, California soul

Like a sound you hear

That lingers in your ear
