Letra
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
'Cause the world keeps spinnin'
'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
[Chorus]
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
And if you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you can't stop the beat
[Verse 3]
What do you have to say, Penny?
I am now a Checkerboard Chick
[Verse 4]
You can't stop a river
As it rushes to the sea
You can try to stop the hands of time
But you know it just won't be
And if they try to stop us, Seaweed
I'll call the N double A C P
'Cause the world keeps spinning around and around ('Round and 'round)
And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound (Speed of sound)
I was lost till I heard the drums
Then I found my way
[PreChorus]
'Cause you can't stop the beat
[Chorus]
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 of my might today
[Chorus]
'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
[Verse 5]
Tracy, I have a little something I'd like to add if you don't mind
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
'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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
'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
You can't stop to breathe (You can't stop the beat)
[Verse 8]
Wilbur, be a dear, fetch some oxygen, now
[Verse 9]
Step aside, Miss Buttercup
It's time to wrap this mutha up
[Verse 10]
Oh, oh, oh
You can't stop today (No)
It comes speeding down the track
Child, yesterday is hist'ry (Begone)
And it's never coming back (Look ahead)
'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day
And it don't know white from black
Yeah
[Verse 11]
'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
You can't stop the beat
[Chorus]
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
You can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
They can try to stop the paradise
We're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
You can't stop the beat
[Bridge]
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Come on you Von Tussles go and shake your fanny muscles (We can't)
Yes, you can (No, we can't)
Yes, you can (Yes, we can)
You can't stop the beat
[Chorus]
Ever since we first saw the sun
It seems Von Tussle girls are always tryin' to be someone
But now we're gonna shake and shimmy it
And have some fun today
[Chorus]
You can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
They can try to stop the paradise
We're dreaming 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
[Verse 12]
Blood on the pavement, what a mess
Is that your eyeball on my dress?
Don't drink and drive, please keep your head
Or come graduation day, you'll be dead
[Outro]
Hands on the wheel, though I know it's a drag
I'd hate to see that body in a body bag
[Outro]
Kids, listen up, 'cause I'm a mom
Yes, blood on the pavement will ruin your prom
