[Gabriella]

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



[Gabriella & Troy]

'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!



[Emma]

You can't stop a river 

As it rushes to the sea 



[Ryan]

You can try and stop the hands of time

But ya know it just can't be



[Emma]

And if they try to stop us, Ryan,



[Emma & Ryan]

We'll call the NAACP!

'Cause the world keeps spinning 

'Round and 'round.



[Ryan]

'Round and 'round



[Emma]

And my heart's keeping time 

To the speed of sound



[Ryan]

Speed of sound



[Emma]

I was lost till i heard the drums 

Then i found my way



[Emma & Ryan]

'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 cant 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 cant stop the beat!



[Martha]

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 |ust don't give a damn!







[Martha & Trevor]

'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



[Martha & Trevor, Kelsi & Jason, Zeke]

'Cause you cant 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!



[Taylor]

Step aside, Miss Buttercup... it's 

time to wrap this mutha' up! 

Oh, oh, oh, 

You can't stop today



[Ensemble]

...No!



[Taylor]

As it comes speeding down the track



[Ensemble]

Ooh, child, yes



[Taylor]

Child, yesterday is hist'ry



[Ensemble]

Be gone!



[Taylor]

And it's never coming back



[Ensemble]

Look ahead



[Taylor & Chad, Ensemble]

'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day



[Taylor]

And it don't know white from black



[Ensemble]

Yeah!



[Taylor, Chad, 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



Aah, aah, aah 

Aah, aah, aah 

Aah, aah, aah 



[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 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!

You can't stop the beat!! 

You can't stop the beat!!!
