You Can't Stop the Beat

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
