you can't stop the beat!

you can't stop an avalanche as it races down the hill
you can try to stop the season, girl but you know you never will!
and you can try to stop my dancing feet, but i just cannot stay still!
cuz the world keeps spinning round and round
and my heart's keeping time to the speed of the sound
i was lost till i heard the drums and i found my way
cuz you can't stop the beat
ever since this old world began a woman found that if she shook it
she could shake up a man
and so i'm gonna shake and shimmy just the best that i can today
cuz 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 get me down i'm gonna spit in your eye and say
you can't stop the beat!

...you can't stop my happiness cuz i like the way i am
and you just can't stop my knife and fork when i see a christmas ham
and if you don't like the way i look, well i just don't give a damn!
cuz the world keeps spinning round and round
and my heart's keeping time to the speed of the sound
i was lost till i heard the drums and i found my way
cuz you can't stop the beat...!
