You Can't Stop The Beat Lyrics - Singles - Hairspray

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 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 the 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 

So now 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! 

Tracy: Whaddya have to say, Penny? 

Penny: I am now a checkerboard Chick! 

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, Seaweed, 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 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way 

Cause you cant 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 cant stop the motion of the ocean, or the rain from above 

you can try to stop the paradise were dreamin of 

But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay 

Cause you cant stop the beat! 

Edna: Tracy, I have a little something to add if you don't mind 

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! 

And if you don't like the way I look, well, I just dont give a damn! 

Cause the world keeps spinnin round and round 

and my hearts keepin time to the speed of sound 

I was lost 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way 

Cause you cant stop the beat 

Ever since this whole world began 

A woman found out if she shook it she could shake up a man 

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 you can try to hold me down, but I'll spit in your eye and say 

That you can't stop the beat! 

Edna: Wilbur, be a dear. Fetch some oxygen...now!! 

Motormouth: Step aside, Miss. Buttercup! It's time to wrack this mutha up! 

Oh, Oh, Oh 

You can't stop today [No!] 

As it comes speeding 'round the track [oooh, child yes!] 

Yesterday is history [be gone!] 

And it's never comin back! [Look ahead, cause...] 

Tomorrow is a brand new day, and it don't know white from black [Yeah!] 

'Cause the world keeps spinnin' round and round 

And my heart's keepin time to the speed of sound 

I was lost til I heard the drums, then I found my way 

'Cause you cant 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 cant stop the motion of the ocean, or the rain from above 

They 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! 

Aah, aah, aah, 

Ahh, ahh, ahh 

Ahh, ahh, ahh ahh 

Come on you Vontussle's go and shake your fanny muscles!! 

We can't! 

Yes you can! 

No we can't! 

Yes you can! 

Yes we can! 

You cant stop the beat! 

Ever since we first saw the sun 

It seems Vontussle girls are always tryin to please someone 

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 were dreamin of 

But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay! 

Cause you cant stop the beat! 

You can't stop the beat 

You can't stop the beat 

You can't stop the beat!!
