Cast of Hairspray You Can't Stop the Beat Lyrics

TRACY
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 spinnin' round and round
And my heart's keepin' time to the speed of the sound
I was lost 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way

TRACY & LINK
'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
And if you try and hold me down I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you can't stop the beat!

PENNY
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 can't be!
And if they try to stop us, Seaweed, I'll call the N double A C P
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

PENNY & SEAWEED
Cause you cant stop the beat!
Ever since we first saw the light
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 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!

EDNA
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 dont give a d___!
Cause the world keeps spinnin' round and round
and my hearts keepin 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
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
And if you try and hold me down, I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you can't stop the beat!

MOTORMOUTH MAYBELLE
Oh, Oh, Oh
You can't stop today [No!]
As it comes speeding down the track [oooh, child yes!]
Yesterday is history [be gone!]
And it's never comin back! [Look ahead, 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 cant stop the beat!
Ever since we first saw the light,
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 today!
Cause you cant 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!

ENSEMBLE
Aah, aah, aah,
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh ahh
Ever since we first saw the sun
A man and woman like to shake it when the day is done
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 were dreamin of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay!

You cant stop the beat! (you cant stop the beat)
You cant stop the beat! (you cant stop the beat)
YOU CANT STOP THE BEAT!
