Original Broadway Cast Of Hairspray, Linda Hart, Matthew Morrison, Laura Bell Bundy - You Can't Stop the Beat (Medley) lyrics

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 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 whole 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

What do you have to say Penny?

I am now a checkerboard chick!
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 won't be
And if they try to stop us, Seaweed
I'll call the NAACP
'Cause the world keeps spinning
'round and 'round

'Round and 'round

And my heart's keeping time to
The speed of sound

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
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

Tracy I have a little something
I'd like to add 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

Keeps spinning 'round and 'round
And my heart's
Keeping time to the speed of sound
Keeping time to the speed of sound
I was lost
'til I heard the drums, then I found my way
'Til I heard the drums, then I found my way

Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever since this whole 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

Step aside It's time to wrap this mother up!
Oh, oh, oh, you can't stop today (No)
As it comes speeding down the track
(Ooo child) yesterday is history and it's
Never coming back (Begone)
'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day
Brand new day
And it don't know white from black (yeah)

'Cause the world
Keeps spinning 'round and 'round
Keeps spinning 'round and 'round
And my heart's
Keeping time to the speed of sound
Keeping time to the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I heard the drums
Then I found my way
'Til I heard the drums, then I found my way

Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever since this whole world began
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

'Cause you can't stop the motion of the
Ocean or the rain from above
You can try and stop the
Paradise we're dreaming of
If you try to hold me down I'm
Gonna spit in your eye and say
That you can't stop the beat

Come on Von Tussle's you can
Shake your dandy muscles

No we can't!

Yes you can!

No we can't!

Yes you can!

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

'Cause you can't stop the motion of the
Ocean or the rain from above
You can try and 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

Blood on the pavement, what a mess

Is that your eyeball on my dress?

Don't drink and drive, please, keep your head
Or come graduation day, you'll be dead

Hands on the wheel, though I know it's a drag
I'd hate to see that body in a body bag

Hey listen up 'cause I'm a Mom
Put on the belt or we'll ruin your prom
