You Can't Stop The Beat

You Can't Stop The Beat ("Hairspray") - Queen Latifah

You cant 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 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 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 NAACP

'Cause the world keeps spinning

'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 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 a christmas ham

So if you don't like the way I look

Well I just don't give a damn

'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 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

Oh oh oh

You can't stop today no

As it comes speeding down the track

Child yesterday is history be gone

And it's never coming back look ahead

'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day

And it don't know white from black yeah

'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 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 ths 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

Aah aah aah

Aah aah aah

Ever since we first saw the sun

A man and woman liked to shake it

When the day is done

And so we're gonna shake and shimmy it

And have some fun for 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 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
