You Can't Stop the Beat

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
ALL
Come on you Vantussle’s
Come and shake your fanny muscles
AMBER AND MRS.
VANTUSSLE
But we can’t
All
Yes you can
AMBER AND MRS.
VANTUSSLE
But we can’t
ALL
Yes you can
AMBER AND MRS.
VANTUSSLE
Yes we can
You can’t stop the beat
Ever since we first saw the sun
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!
You can’t stop the beat!
You can’t stop the beat!
