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 Whistles a melody 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 grooving all day long
California soul, california soul
They had the melody and the beat But still didn't seem complete, yes Until they saw two lovers kissing They knew just what was missing So happy they were rocking and reeling Because they had added that loving feeling To california soul, california soul
