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 dancing feet, but I just cannot stand still!
'Coz 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
'Coz you can't stop the beat
(five, six, seven, eight)
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
'Coz 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 and hold me down I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you can't stop the beat!
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, Artie, I'll call the N double A C P
'Coz 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
'Coz 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
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today
'Coz you can't 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
'Coz you can't stop the beat!
Oh, Oh, Oh
You can't stop today [No!]
As it comes speeding down the track [oooh, child yes!]
Yesterday is history [be gone!]
And it's never comin back! [Look ahead, 'coz...]
Tomorrow is a brand new day, and it don't know white from black [YEAH!]
'Coz 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
'Coz you can't stop the beat!
Aah, aah, aah,
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh ahh
Ever since we first saw the sun
A man and woman like to shake it when the day is done
And so we're gonna shake and shimmy it and have some fun today!
'Coz 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!
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!
