You Can't Stop The Beat (from Hairspray) sing and play along

Level 4G160 BPMMarc Shaiman
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

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 can dounot stand still.

'Cause the world keeps spinning 'round and 'round,

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

I was lost till I heard the drums then I found my way

'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 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!

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 try to stop us,

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

'Cause the world keeps spinning 'round and 'round,

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

I was lost till 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.

And 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 nev dreaming of.

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

'cause you can't stop the beat!

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!

No, we can't!

Yes, you can!

Yes, we can!

You can't stop the beat!

Ever since we first saw the sun,

it seems Von Tussle girls are always try'n to please someone.

But now 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.

They can try to stop the paradise we're dreaming 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!
