You Can't Stop the Beat
Mini Pop Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 word 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
Cause you can't stop the beat

Ever since this whole world began
A woman found out if she sit she could
shake up a man
So now 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

Tracy: Whaddya have to say, Penny?
Penny: I am now a checkerboard chick!

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 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 and shimmy it with all of
my might today
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
You can try to stop the paradise were
dreamin of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts
in love to stay
Cause you can't stop the beat!

Edna: Tracy, I have a little something to add if
you don't mind

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!
And 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 cant stop the beat

Ever since this whole world began
A woman found out if she sit she could
shake up a man
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 you can try to hold me down, but I'll spit
in your eye and say
That you can't stop the beat

Edna: Wilbur, be a dear. Fetch some
oxygen... now!!

Motormouth: Step inside, Miss. Buttercup! It's time to wrack this mutha up

Oh, Oh, Oh
You can't stop today {No!}
As it comes speeding 'round the track {oooh,
child yes!}
Yesterday si 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 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 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
You can't stop the beat!

Aah, aah, aah,
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh ahh
Come on you Vontussle's go and shake your
fannu 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 sign
It seems Vontussle girls are aways tryin 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
You can try to stop the paradise were
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!
