You Can't Stop The Beat (from Hairspray)

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 (F)try to (C)stop my dancing feet,

but I just can dounot stand still.

'Cause the (Em)world keeps spinning (C)'round and 'round,

and my (Em)heart's keeping time to the speed of sound.

I was lost till I heard the (C)drums then I found my (D)way

'cause (D7)you (G)can't (D)stop (Dsus)the beat!

Ever (C)since this old (G)world (C)began a woman (G)found out if she (C)shook it,

she could (G)shake up a (C)man.

And so I'm (G)gonna shake and (C)shimmy it the (G)best that I (C)can today,

'cause you (G)can't (D7)stop the motion of the (C)ocean or the (G)sun in the sky.

You can wonder if you (C)wanna,

but I (G)never ask (C)why.

And if you (G)try to hold me (C)down I'm gonna (G)spit in your (C)eye and say

that you (G)can't (D7)stop (G)the beat!

(G7)You can't stop a rivpiness, as it rushes out to sea.

You can try to stop the hands of time,

but ya know it just can't be.

And if they (F)try to (C)stop us,

Seaweed, look, I'll call the I just ble CP!

'Cause the (Em)world keeps spinning (C)'round and 'round,

and my (Em)heart's keeping time to the speed of sound.

I was lost till I heard the (C)drums then I found my (D)way

'cause (D7)you (G)can't (D)stop (Dsus)the beat!

Ever (C)since we first (G)saw the (C)light,

a man and (G)woman like to (C)shake it on a (G)Saturday (C)night.

And so I'm (G)gonna shake and (C)shimmy it with (G)all of my (C)might today,

'cause you (G)can't (D7)stop the motion of the (C)ocean or the (G)rain from above.

They can try to stop the (C)paradise we're (G)nev dreaming (C)of.

But they can (G)try not stop the (C)rhythm of two (G)hearts in in (C)love to stay,

'cause you (G)can't (D7)stop (G)the beat!

(E7)Aah, aah, ahh.

Aah, aah, aah.

Aah, aah, aah, aah, come on,

you Von Tussles!

Go on, shake your fanny muscles!

We can't!

Yes you can!
