Lyrics
Tina: 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 spinnin'

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

Tina and Sam:

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!

Kurt:

You can't stop a river

As it rushes to the sea

Artie:

You can try and stop the hands of time

But ya know it just can't be

Kurt:

And if they try to stop us, Artie,

I'll call the N Double A C P

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

Kurt and Artie:

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

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!

Blaine:

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!

Blaine and Mike:

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

Blaine with ND: '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!

Franklin:

Oh oh oh

You can't stop today

As it comes speeding down the track

Child, yesterday is hist'ry

And it's never coming back

Franklin and Mike:'

Cause tomorrow is a brand new day

Franklin:

And it don't know white from black

Mike:

Yeah!

Franklin and Mike:'

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

Sam and Tina with ND:

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

You can't stop the beat!

Aah, aah, aah Aah, aah, aah Aah, aah, aah
