you can't stop an avalanche
as it races down the hill
you can try to stop the season 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 spining
'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
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 stop a river
as it rushes to the sea
you can try and stop the hands of time
but ya know it just can't be
and if they try to stop us, seaweed,
i'll call the n - double - a - n - p!
'cause the world keeps spining
'round and 'round
'round and 'round
and my heart's keeping time
to the speed of sound
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 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 they cannot stop the rhythm
of two hearts in love to stay
'cause you can't stop the beat!

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 christmas ham
so if you don't like the way i look
well, i just don't give a damn!
'cause the world keeps spining
'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

Oh, oh, oh,

and it's never comihg back

'cause tomorrow is a brand new day
and it don't know white from black yeah!
'cause the world keeps spining
'round and 'round
and my heart's keeping time
to the speed of sound

tryin' to piease someone
but now we're gonna shake and shimmy it
and have some fun today!

of two hearts in love to stay
'cause you can't stop the beat!
you can't stop the beat!
