Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 dancing feet
But I just cannot stand still
[Verse 2]
'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
[Verse 3]
Cause you can't stop the beat
Every 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
[Verse 4]
'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
[Verse 5]
You can't stop a river
As it rushes to the sea
You can try to 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, CP
[Verse 6]
'Cause the world keeps spinning
Round and around
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost till I heard the drums
And I found my way
[Verse 7]
'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 of my might today
[Verse 8]
'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise
What I'm dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love
To stay
'Cause you can't stop the beat
[Verse 9]
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 10]
'Cause the world keeps spinning
Round and around
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
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
'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
[Verse 13]
Oh, oh, oh
You can't stop today
As it comes speeding down the track
Child yesterday is history
And it's never coming back
Cause tomorrow is a brand new day
And it don't know white from black (Yeah)
[Verse 14]
'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
[Verse 15]
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
[Verse 16]
'Cause 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 you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love
To stay
'Cause you can't stop the beat
[Verse 17]
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
(Hallelujah, hallelujah you can't stop the beat)
[Verse 18]
Ever since we first saw the sun
It seems that Von Tussle girls are always trying to please someone
And now we're gonna shake and shimmy it
And have some fun today
[Verse 19]
'Cause 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 you 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 (You can't stop the beat)
You can't stop the beat
