Nikki Blonsky, Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, Elijah Kelly, John Travolta & Queen Latifah - You Can't Stop The Beat lyrics

rate me

You can't stop an avalanche as it races down the hill<br />

You can try to stop the seasons, girl but you know you never will<br />

And you could try to stop my dancing feet<br />

But I just cannot stand still<br />

<br />

'Cause the world keeps spinning 'round and 'round<br />

And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound<br />

I was lost 'til I heard the drums then I found my way<br />

'Cause you can't stop the beat<br />

<br />

Ever since this whole world began<br />

A woman found out if she shook it she could shake up a man<br />

And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it the best that I can today<br />

<br />

'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky<br />

You could wonder if you wanna but I never ask why<br />

And if you try to hold me down I'm gonna spit in your eye<br />

And say that you can't stop the beat<br />

<br />

You can't stop the river as it rushes to the sea<br />

You can try to stop the hands of time but you know it just can't be<br />

And if they try to stop us, Seaweed, I'll call the NAACP<br />

<br />

'Cause the world keeps spinning round and round<br />

And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound<br />

I was lost 'til I heard the drums then I found my way<br />

'Cause you can't stop the beat<br />

<br />

Ever since we first saw the light<br />

A man and woman liked to shake it on a Saturday night<br />

So I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today<br />

<br />

'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above<br />

You can try to stop the paradise we're dreaming of<br />

But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay<br />

'Cause you can't stop the beat<br />

<br />

You can't stop my happiness 'cause I like the way I am<br />

And you just can't stop my knife and fork when I see a Christmas ham<br />

So if you don't like the way I look, well, I just don't give a damn<br />

<br />

'Cause the world keeps spinning round and round<br />

And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound<br />

I was lost 'til I heard the drums then I found my way<br />

'Cause you can't stop the beat<br />

<br />

Ever since this whole world began<br />

A woman found out if she shook it she could shake up a man<br />

And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it the best that I can today<br />

<br />

'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky<br />

You can wonder if you wanna but I never ask why<br />

And if you try to hold me down I'm gonna spit in your eye<br />

And say that you can't stop the beat<br />

<br />

Oh, oh, oh, you can't stop today as it comes speeding down the track<br />

Child, yesterday is history and it's never coming back<br />

'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day and it don't know white from black<br />

<br />

'Cause the world keeps spinning round and round<br />

And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound<br />

I was lost 'til I heard the drums then I found my way<br />

'Cause you can't stop the beat<br />

<br />

Ever since we first saw the light<br />

A man and woman liked to shake it on a Saturday night<br />

And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today<br />

<br />

'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above<br />

They can try to stop the paradise we're dreaming of<br />

But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay<br />

'Cause you can't stop the beat<br />

<br />

Ever since we first saw the sun<br />

A man and woman liked to shake it when the day is done<br />

And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it and have some fun for today<br />

<br />

You can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above<br />

You can try to stop the paradise we're dreaming of<br />

But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay<br />

You can't stop the beat<br />

<br />

You can't stop the beat<br />

You can't stop the beat<br />

You can't stop the beat<br />

You can't stop the beat!
