Lyric Sheet PDF

VERSE/CHORUS 1: JUSTIN, VAL, & CECE with MAGNOLIA MINXXX

CECE

You can’t stop an avalanche

As it races down the hill

JUSTIN

You can try to stop the seasons, girl

But you know you never will

VAL

And you can try to stop my dancin’ feet

But I just cannot stand still

JUSTIN & VAL

‘Cause the world keeps spinning ’round and ’round

And my heart’s keeping time to the speed of sound

CECE

I was lost ’til I heard the drums then I found my way

JUSTIN, VAL, & CECE

‘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 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 can’t stop the beat!

 

VERSE/CHORUS 2: HANNAH, DANIEL, & JORDAN with CASSIE CADELL

 

JORDAN

You can’t stop the river

as it rushes to the sea

DANIEL

You can try to stop the hands of time,

But you know it just can’t be!

HANNAH

And if they try to stop us, baby,

We’ll call the N double A.C.P.

 HANNAH & DANIEL

‘Cause the world keeps spinnin’ round and round

And my heart’s keepin’ time to the speed of sound

JORDAN

I was lost ’til I heard the drums then I found my way

HANNAH, DANIEL, AND JORDAN

‘Cause you can’t stop the beat!

Ever since we first saw the light

A man and woman like to shake it on a Saturday night

So, I’m gonna shake and shimmy it with all of 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!

 

VERSE/CHORUS 3: TREY, GWEN, & TAYLOR with RITA D’LAVANE

 

TREY

You can’t stop my happiness

‘Cause I like the way I am

TAYLOR

And you just can’t stop my knife and fork

When I see a Christmas Ham!

GWEN

So, if you don’t like the way I look

Well, I just don’t give a damn!

TREY & TAYLOR

‘Cause the world keeps spinnin’ round and round

And my hearts keepin’ time to the speed of sound

GWEN

I was lost ’til I heard the drums then I found my way

TREY, GWEN, & TAYLOR

‘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!

JOJO

Oh, Oh, Oh

You can’t stop today (No!)

As it comes speeding ’round the track (oooh, child yes!)

Yesterday is history (be gone!)

And it’s never comin’ back! (look ahead, ’cause)

‘Cause tomorrow is a brand new day, and it don’t know white from black (yeah!)

‘Cause the world keeps spinnin’ round and round

And my heart’s keepin’ 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!

 

ALL

Ever since we first saw the light

A man and woman 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

They 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 can’t stop the beat!

 

Aah, aah, aah

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Ahh, ahh, ahh ahh

A man or woman like to shake it when the day is ooh ooh

And so we’re 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 dreamin’ of

But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay!

‘Cause you can’t stop the beat!
