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 sit still. ‘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 this old world began, a woman found that 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 can’t stop the beat!
You can’t today as it comes speeding down the track. Child, yesterday is hist’ry and it’s never coming back. ‘Cause tomorrow is a brand new day and it don’t know white from black. ‘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!

Ah, Ah
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 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 can’t stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay.
Sop- ‘Cause you can’t stop the beat!
Alto- You can’t stop the beat!
Sop- You can’t stop the beat!
Alto- You can’t stop the beat!
Sop- You can’t stop the beat!
Alto-the beat!
