Like a sound you hear
 That lingers in your ear
 You can't forget
 From sunrise 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
 [bad word] up every morning
 And if you listen carefully
 The winds that ride
 On the high tide
 Whistle a melody

 So the people started to sing
 And that's how the
 Surf gave birth untold to

 California soul
 California soul
[ Lyrics from: [bad word] /www [bad word] lyrics/m/marvin_gaye_tammi_terrell/california_soul.html ]
 When you hear the beat
 You wanna pat your feet
 And you've gotta move cause
 It's really such a groove

 Puts a brand new kind of
 Thinking in your mind
 And you can't go wrong
 Cause you're happy all day long

 California soul
 California soul

 They had the melody and the beat
 But it still didn't [bad word] 
 Until they saw two lovers kissing
 They knew just what was missing

 So happy they were
 Rocking and reeling
 Because that added
 That loving feeling

 To California soul
 California soul

 California soul
 Now if they move you
 Will it move you
 It can groove, you, baby

 California Soul now now now
 California Soul, yeah
 California Soul
 Satisfaction, darling
