You can't stop
an avalanche
as it races
down the hill
You can try to stop
the seasons girl
but ya know
you never will
And you can try to
stop my dancin' feet
but I just cannot
stand still
'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
well I'll spit
in your eye and say
That you can't
stop the beat!
You can't stop the river
as it rushes to the sea
You can try and stop
the hands of time
but ya 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 till 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
like to shake it
on a Saturday night
And so I'm gonna
shake and shimmy it
with all of 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 dreaming
of, but you cannot stop
the rhythm of two hearts
in love today
'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
you can't stop today
No!
As it comes screaming
round the track
ooh ooh ooh child
yeah
Yesterday is history
Be gone!
And it's never
coming back
Look ahead
'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
like to shake it
on a Saturday night
And so I'm gonna
shake and shimmy it
with all of my might
today...
'Cause you can't stop
the motion of the ocean
or the rain from above
You can try to stop this
paradise we're dreaming
of, but you cannot stop
the rhythm of two hearts
in love today
'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
But now we're gonna
shake and shimmy it
and have some fun
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 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!....
