"California Soul"
1967 (5th Dimension) Ashford & Simpson

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 gon-na 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
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 happy 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
