You can't stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons,
But you 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 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

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'll 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!

You can't stop a river
As it rushes to the sea

You can try and stop the hands of time
But ya know it just can't be

And if they try to stop us, Artie,
I'll call the N Double A C P
Cause the world keeps spinning
Round and 'round
And my heart 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

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 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 dreamin' of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
Cause you cant stop the beat!

Oh, you can't stop today
As it comes speeding down the track
Child, yesterday is hist'ry
And it's never coming back
'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day
And it don't know white from black
Yeah!

'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 cant stop the beat

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah

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
