You Can't Stop the Beat
Nikki Blonsky Zac Efron Amanda Bynes Elijah Kelley John Travolta & Queen Latifah Lyrics

You can't stop an avalanche
Change is inevitable and unstoppable.

As it races down the hill
Change can be fast and unstoppable.

You can try to stop the seasons, girl
Some things are beyond our control.

But you know you never will
We have to accept and adapt to change.

And you can try to stop my dancin' feet
You may try to stop my progress.

But I just cannot stand still
But I am always moving forward.

'Cause the world keeps spinning
The world around us constantly changes.

'Round and 'round
A never-ending cycle of change.

And my heart's keeping time
But my emotions and passions guide me.

To the speed of sound
Pushing me forward at a fast pace.

I was lost 'til I heard the drums
I was lost in life until I found my passion.

Then I found my way
My passion guided me in life.

'Cause you can't stop the beat
No one can stop my progress and passion.

A woman found out if she shook it
A person can have a big impact on others.

She could shake up a man
Their actions can inspire and motivate others.

And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
I will continue to pursue my passion.

The best that I can today
I will give it my all every day.

You can't stop the motion of the ocean
Some things are beyond our control.

Or the sun in the sky
We have to accept and adapt to change.

You can wonder if you wanna, but I never ask why
Some things are best left unexplained.

And if you try to hold me down I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
I will never let anyone hold me back.

You can't stop the river as it rushes to the sea
Change is natural and unstoppable.

You can try to stop the hands of time
Some things are beyond our control.

But you know it just can't be!
We have to accept and adapt to change.

And if they try to stop us, Seaweed, I've got the N double A.C.P.
We will never let anyone hold us back.

'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day, and it don't know white from black
Each day is a new beginning and colorblind.

Ever since we first saw the light
People have been dancing and celebrating.

A man and woman like to shake it on a Saturday night
Having fun is a universal thing.

So I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today!
I will continue to pursue my passion with all my energy.

You can't stop my happiness, 'cause I like the way I am
I will continue to be happy and confident in myself.

And you just can't stop my knife and fork when I see a Christmas Ham!
I will continue to enjoy the good things in life.

So, if you don't like the way I look, well, I just don't give a damn!
I will not let anyone bring me down with their opinions.

Oh, oh, oh
Celebration and happiness.

You can't stop today
We must live in and embrace the present.

(No!)
Defiant and firm answer.

As it comes speeding 'round the track
Time moves fast and we must keep up.

(Ooh, child, yes!)
Excitement and anticipation.

Yesterday is history
We cannot change the past.

(Be gone!)
Let go of the past.

And it's never comin' back!
The past is gone and we must move on.

'Cause you can't stop the beat!
No one can hold us back.

Ever since we first saw the light
Celebration and joy have been a part of life.

A man and woman like to shake it on a Saturday night
Having fun is a universal human experience.

So I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today!
I will live in the moment and have fun.

They can try to stop the paradise we're dreamin' of
We can dream of a better world.

But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay
Love is unstoppable and powerful.

Aah, aah, aah
Happy sounds and celebration.

Ahh, ahh, ahh
Joyful sounds and music.

Ahh, ahh, ahh ahh
Celebration of life.

Ever since we first saw the sign
Celebration and joy have been a part of life.

A man or woman like to shake it when the day is ooh ooh
Having fun is a universal human experience.

And so we're gonna shake and shimmy it and have some fun today!
We will live in the moment and have fun.

You can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above
Some things are beyond our control.

They can try to stop the paradise we're dreamin' of
We can dream of a better world.

But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay!
Love is unstoppable and powerful.

You can't stop the beat!
No one can hold us back.

You can't stop the beat!
No one can hold us back.

You can't stop the beat!
No one can hold us back.

You can't stop the beat!
No one can hold us back.
