"You Can't Stop The Beat" lyrics - MATTHEW MORRISON
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 till I heard the drums, then I found my way
'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 with 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 you can try to hold me down, I'm gonna 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'll call the NAACP
'Cause the world keeps spinnin' round and round
And my heart's keepin' 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 like to shake it on a Saturday night
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 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 can't stop the beat!
Edna
Tracy, I have a little something I'd like 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!
So if you don't like the way I look, well, I just don't give a damn!
'Cause the world keeps spinnin' round and round
And my hearts keepin' 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 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'll never ask why
And you can try to hold me down, I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you can't stop the beat!
Edna
Breathe! Wilbur, be a dear. Fetch some oxygen... now!

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 [ooh, child yes!]
Yesterday is history [be gone!]
And it's never comin' back! [Look ahead, 'cause...]
'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 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 like to shake it on a Saturday night
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 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!
Ah, ah, ah,
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
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!
You can't stop the beat!
Ever since we first saw the sign
It seems Von Tussle 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 can't stop the beat!
You can't stop the beat
You can't stop the beat
You can't stop the beat!
Blood on the pavement, what a mess!
"Is that your eyeball on my dress?"
Don't drink and drive, please keep your head,
"Or come graduation day, you'll be dead!"
Hands on the wheel, though I know it's a drag
I'd hate to see that body in a body bag!
"Kids listen up, 'cause I'm a mom"
Yes, blood on the pavement will ruin your prom!
