You Can't Stop The Beat ("Hairspray") - Nikki Blonsky, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley

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’s 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 never ask why

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 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 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 can’t stop the beat

Ever since we first saw the light

A man and woman liked to shake it On a Saturday night

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

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 can’t stop the beat!

You can’t stop today

As it comes speeding down the track

Child, yesterday is history

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 til 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 can’t stop

The motion of the ocean

Or the rain from above

They can try to stop the paradise

We’re dreaming 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!
