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 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 '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! 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've got 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 '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! 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 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 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! 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! 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 Ever since we first saw the sign 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! You can't stop the beat You can't stop the beat You can't stop the beat You can't stop the beat
Am I the only one literally crying? I never realized how wholesome and touching this song/scene is … Tracy helped her Ma be free and proud in her own skin 💘🥹🥹
I used to watch this in middle school became my favorite movie to the point I had the dvd and watched it in the car and every time my school asked for a movie day it was the first I would recommend
Love seeing this movie every time i watch it. Also is very nice seeing Amanda Bynes back in the days where she was in the spirit. Still find it so sad what happened to her❤❤
I'm so glad the Dynamites actresses were given this entire number. We only got to hear them at the end of the first song, but they absolutely shined here.
