You Can't Stop the Beat Lyrics

[Tracy](Nikki Blonsky)
You can't 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 spinnin'
'Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of the sound
I was lost 'til I heard the drums
Then I found my way

[Tracy & Link(Zac Efron)]
'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 you can try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That You Can't Stop The Beat!

[Penny](Amanda Bynes)
You can't stop the river
As it rushes to the sea
[Seaweed](Elijah Kelley)
You can try to stop the hands of time
But you know it just can't be
[Penny]
And if they try to stop us, Seaweed,
[Penny & Seaweed]
I'll call the NAACP!
'Cause the world keeps spinnin'
'Round and 'round
[Seaweed]
'Round and 'round
[Penny]
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
[Seaweed]
Speed of sound, yeah
[Penny]
I was lost 'til I heard the drums
Then I found my way

[Penny & Seaweed]
'Cause You Can't 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
We're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
'Cause You Can't Stop The Beat!

[Edna](John Travolta)
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!

[Edna & Ensemble]
'Cause the world keeps spinnin'
'Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping 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
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 you can try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That You Can't Stop The Beat!

[Motormouth](Queen Latifah)
Oh, Oh, Oh
You can't stop today
[Ensemble]
No!
[Motormouth]
As it comes speeding down the drag
[Ensemble]
Ooh, child yes!
[Motormouth]
Yesterday is history
[Ensemble]
Be gone!
[Motormouth]
And it's never comin back!

[Ensemble]
Look ahead
[All]
Cause...tomorrow
[Motormouth]
Is a
[All]
Brand new day
[Motormouth]
And it don't know white from black
[All]
Yeah!

[Motormouth & Ensemble]
'Cause the world keeps spinnin'
'Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping 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 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
We're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
'Cause You Can't Stop The Beat
[Ensemble]
Oh, Oh, (growing louder)
[All]
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 they 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!
