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 the 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 with all of my might 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!

    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 won't be!
    And if they try to stop us, Seaweed, I've got the n double a .n.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!

    Tracys Mom
    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 da**!

    Cause the world keeps spinnin round and round
    and my hearts keepin time to the speed of sound
    I was lost 'til Iheard 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!

    Tracys Mom
    Wilbur, be a dear. Fetch some oxygen...now!!

    Seaweeds Mom
    Step aside, Miss. Buttercup! 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 Vantussles 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 sign
    It seems Vantussle girls are always tryin to be 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 cant stop the beat
    You cant stop the beat
    You cant stop the beat!!
