Hairspray - You Can't Stop The Beat lyrics

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. bu*tercup! 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!!
