Intro

 You cant 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

cant 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

cant 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 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 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

cant stop

 The motion of the ocean

 Or the rain from above

 They can try to stop the paradise

 We're dreaming of

 But they cannot stop the rhythm

 Of two hearts in love to stay

 'Cause you

cant stop the beat!

You cant 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 |ust 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 cant 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 cant 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 cant stop the beat!

Oh, oh, oh,

 You can't stop today

As it comes speeding down the track

Child, yesterday is hist'ry

And it's never coming back

 'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day

 And it don't know white from black

 '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

cant 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

 The motion of the ocean

 Or the rain from above

 They can try to stop ths paradise

 We're dreaming of

 But you cannot stop the rhythm

 Of two hearts in love to stay

 Cause you
