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
California soul, California soul
They say the sun comes up every morning
And if you listen carefully
The winds that ride on the high time
Whistle a melody
So the people started to sing
And that's how the surf gave birth untold
California soul, California soul
When you hear the beat
You wanna pat your feet
And you gotta 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 your happy 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 they added that lovin' feeling
