Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
But you cant forget
From sundown to sunset
no no Its all in the air
You hear it everywhere
No matter what you do
Its gonna get a hold on your
Its 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 in melody
And so the people started to sing
And thats how the surf gave birth untold
Its California soul California soul
When you hear the beat
You wanna pat your feet
And youve got to move cause
Its really such a groove
Puts a brand new car thing in your mind
And you cant go wrong
Cause youre happy all day long
Its California soul, California soul
They had the melody and the beat
But it still doesnt 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
