You Can't Stop The Beat

Lyrics

You can't stop an avalanche
 As it races down the hill
 You can try to stop the seasons, girl
 But you know you never will
 And you can try to stop my dancin' feet
 But I just cannot stand still
 'Cause the world keeps spinnin'
 'Round and 'round
 And my heart's keeping time
 To the speed of sound
 I was lost 'til I heard the drums
 Then I found my way
 'Cause you can't stop the beat
 Ever since this whole world began
 A woman found out if she shook it
 She could shake up a man
 And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
 The best that I can today
 'Cause you can't stop
 The motion of the ocean
 Or the sun in the sky
 You can wonder if you wanna
 But I never ask why
 And if you try to hold me down
 I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
 That you can't stop the beat
 ♪
 You can't stop a river
 As it rushes to the sea
 You can try and stop the hands of time
 But you know it just can't be
 And if they try to stop us, Seaweed
 I'll call the N double A C P
 'Cause the world keeps spinning
 'Round and 'round
 And my heart's keeping time
 To the speed of sound
 I was lost 'til I heard the drums
 Then I found my way
 'Cause you can't stop the beat
 Ever since we first saw the light
 A man and woman liked to shake it
 On a Saturday night
 And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
 With all my might today
 'Cause you can't stop
 The motion of the ocean
 Or the rain from above
 You can try to stop the paradise
 We're dreamin' of
 But you cannot stop the rhythm
 Of two hearts in love to stay
 'Cause you can't stop the beat
 ♪
 You can't stop my happiness
 'Cause I like the way I am
 And you just can't stop my knife and fork
 When I see a Christmas ham
 So if you don't like the way I look
 Well, I just don't give a damn
 'Cause the world keeps spinning
 'Round and 'round
 And my heart's keeping time
 To the speed of sound
 I was lost 'til I heard the drums
 Then I found my way
 'Cause you can't stop the beat
 Ever since this old world began
 A woman found out if she shook it
 She could shake up a man
 And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
 The best that I can today
 'Cause you can't stop
 The motion of the ocean
 Or the sun in the sky
 You can wonder if you wanna
 But I never ask why
 And if you try to hold me down
 I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
 That you can't stop the beat
 ♪
 Oh, oh, oh
 You can't stop today (no)
 As it comes speeding down the track (ooh, child, yeah)
 Child, yesterday is history (be gone)
 And it's never coming back
 'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day
 And it don't know white from black (yeah)
 'Cause the world keeps spinning
 'Round and 'round
 And my heart's keeping time
 To the speed of sound
 I was lost 'til I heard the drums
 Then I found my way
 'Cause you can't stop the beat
 Ever since we first saw the light
 A man and woman liked to shake it
 On a Saturday night
 And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
 With all my might today
 'Cause you can't stop
 The motion of the ocean
 Or the rain from above
 They can try to stop this paradise
 We're dreaming of
 But you can't stop the rhythm
 Of two hearts in love to stay
 'Cause you can't stop the beat
 Aah, aah, aah
 Aah, aah, aah
 Aah, aah, aah
 Ever since we first saw the sun
 A man and woman like to shake it
 When the day is done
 So we're gonna shake and shimmy it
 And have some fun today
 You can't stop
 The motion of the ocean
 Or the rain from above
 You can try to stop the paradise
 We're dreaming of
 But you cannot stop the rhythm
 Of two hearts in love to stay
 'Cause you can't stop the beat
 You can't stop the beat
 You can't stop the beat
 You can't stop the beat
 You can't stop the beat
