You can't stop
an avalanche
as it races
down the hill
You can try to
stop the seasons
but you know
you never will
And you can try to stop
my dancing feet
but I just cannot
stand still
'Cause the world keeps
spinnin' round and round
and my heart's
keepin' time
to the speed of sound
I was lost
till I heard the drums
and I found my way
'Cause you can't
stop the beat
5 6 7 8
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'll never ask why
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 the river
as it rushes to the sea
You can try to stop
the hands of time
but you know it
just can't be
And if they try to
stop us Arty
I'll call the N
double A C P
'Cause the world keeps
spinnin' round and round
and my heart's
keepin' time
to the speed of sound
I was lost
till I heard the drums
and 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
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
dreamin' of but you can
not stop the rhythm of
two hearts in love to stay
'Cause you can't
stop the be....at
You can't stop today
as it comes speeding
down the track
Shout yesterday
is history
and it's never
comin' back
'Cause tomorrow
is a brand new day
and it don't know
white from black
'Cause the world keeps
spinnin' round and round
and my heart's
keepin' time to the
speed of sound
I was lost
till I heard the drums
and I found my way
'Cause you can't
stop the be.....at
Ever since we first
saw the sun a man
and woman like to
shake it when
the day is done
So I'm 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 dreamin'
of but you cannot stop
the rhythm of two hearts
in love to stay
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
