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 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 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 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

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

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
