TRACY 
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 

TRACY & LINK 
'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'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! 

PENNY 
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, Seaweed, I'll call the N double A C 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 

PENNY & SEAWEED 
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 
and 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 dreamin of 
But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay 
Cause you cant stop the beat! 

EDNA 
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 dont give a damn! 
Cause the world keeps spinnin' round and round 
and my hearts 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 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'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! 

MOTORMOUTH MAYBELLE 
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, 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 
And 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 
Cause you can't stop the beat! 

ENSEMBLE 
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! 
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! 

You cant stop the beat! (you cant stop the beat) 
You cant stop the beat! (you cant stop the beat) 
YOU CANT STOP THE BEAT!
