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 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 |
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 |
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 groovin' 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 that added that lovin feeling |
To California soul, California soul |
Like a sound you hear |
That lingers in your ear |
