You can't stop an avalanche as it races down the hill
You can try to stop the season but you know you never will
And you can try to stop my dancing feet but I just cannot stand still
'Cause the world keeps spinning around 'n' '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 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'll 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 the 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 it NAACP 'cause the world keeps spinning 'round 'n' 'round
( around 'n' 'round )
And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound
( speed of sound, yeah! )
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'd like to shake it on a Saturday night
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
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 today (no) as it come speeding down the track (Ooh~!)
Child, (yeah) yesterday is history (we know) 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 around 'n' '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
Ooh~!
Ever since we first saw this gown a man and woman'd like to shake it when the day is gone
So I'm gonna shake and shimmy it and have some fun 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 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
