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
It's 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
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
Because 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
It's 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 they added that lovin feeling
To California soul, 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 get a hold on you
When you hear the beat
You wanna pat your feet
And you've got to move...
