You Can't Stop the Beat (Hairspray) - High School Musical Masters

TRACY

You can’t stop an avalanche

As it races down the hill

You can try to stop the seasons, girl

But ya 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’s keeping time

To the speed of 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 old world began

A woman found out if she sit

She could shake up a man

And so I’m gonna shake and shimmy it

The best that I can today

'Cause you cant stop

The motion of the ocean

Or the sun in the sky

You can wonder if you wanna

But I never ask why

And if you try to hold me down

I’m gonna spit in your eye and say

That you cant stop the beat!

PENNY

You can’t stop a river

As it rushes to the sea

SEAWEED

You can try and stop the hands of time

But ya know it just can’t be

PENNY

And if they try to stop us, Seaweed,

I’ll call the N Double A C P

Cause the world keeps spinning

Round and 'round

And my heart’s keeping time

To the speed of sound

I was lost til I heard the drums

Then I found my way

PENNY & SEAWEED

Cause you can’t stop the beat

PENNY & SEAWEED

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!

EDNA

You cant 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!

EDNA & ENSEMBLE

Cause the world keeps spinning

Round and 'round

And my heart’s keeping time

To the speed of sound

I was lost til I heard the drums

Then I found my way

EDNA & COMPANY

'Cause you cant stop the beat

Ever since this old world began

A woman found out if she sit

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 never ask why

And if you try to hold me down

I’m gonna spit in your eye and say

That you cant stop the beat!

MAYBELL

Oh oh oh

You can’t stop today

As it comes speeding down the track

Child, yesterday is hist’ry

And it’s never coming back

MAYBELL & ENSEMBLE

'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day

MAYBELL

And it don’t know white from black

ENSEMBLE

Yeah!

MAYBELL & ENSEMBLE

'Cause the world keeps spinning

'Round and 'round

And my heart’s keeping 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

ALL

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 can’t stop

The motion of the ocean

Or the rain from above

They can try to stop this paradise

We’re dreaming of

But you can’t stop the rhythm

Of two hearts in love to stay

You can’t stop the beat!

Aah, aah, aah

Aah, aah, aah

Aah, aah, aah

It seems Vantussle girls are always tryin'

Please someone

But now we’re gonna shake and shimmy

And just have some fun today

ALL

And you can’t stop

The motion of the ocean

Or the rain from above

You can try to stop the paradise

We’re dreaming 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!
