You Can't Stop The Beat - Part 1

Hairspray The Musical
You Can't Stop The Beat - Part 1

TRACY
You can't stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl
But 'cha know you never will
And you can try to stop my dancin' feet
But I just cannot 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

TRACY & LINK
'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!

TRACY
What d'ya say, Penny?

PENNY
I am now a checkerboard chick!

You can't stop a river
As it rushes to the sea
You can try and stop the hands of time
But 'cha know it just won't be
And if they try to stop us, Seaweed
I'll call the NAACP!

'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

PENNY, SEAWEED, TRACY, & LINK
'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 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 dreaming of
But they cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
'Cause you can't stop the beat!

[Deleted lyrics]
[ALL
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
So let the fun begin
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Can the white folks join in?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh]

TRACY
So come on!

ALL
Come on!
Come on!

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 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 dreaming of
But they 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!!!

Tracy!
