Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
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
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
California (soul)
California
