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 world keeps spin round and round
And my heart keeping time to the speed of sound
I was lost till I heard the drums, then I found my way
Cause you cant stop the beat.

Ever since the whole world began 
A woman found out if she shook it she could shank up a man
And so I’m gunna shake and shimmy in the best that I can today 
Cause you cant stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna but I’ll never ask why 
And if you try to hold me down I’m gunna spit in your eye and say
You can’t stop the beat 

Tracey: Whaddya have to say, Penny?
Eric: 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 won’t be
And if they try to stop us Seaweed, I’ve got the N.A.A.C.P

Cause the world keeps spinnin round and round
And my hearts keeping time to the speed of sound 
I was lost till I heard the drums a then I found my way 
Cause you cant 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 gunna shake and shimmy it with all 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 were dreamin of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of hearts in love to stay
Cause you cant stop the beat 

Tracey’s Mom: Tracey 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 da**

Cause the world keeps spinnin round and round
And my hearts keeping time to the speed of sound
I lost till I found my way
Cause you cant stop the beat 

Ever since the whole world began 
A woman found out if she shook it she could shank up a man
And so I’m gunna shake and shimmy it with all that I can today 
Cause you cant stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna but I’ll never ask why 
And if you try to hold me down I’m gunna spit in your eye and say
You can’t stop the beat 

Tracey’s Mom: Wilbur be a dear Fetch some oxygen... now!!

Seaweeds Mom:  Step aside Miss Buttercup Its time to wrap this bubba up

Cause the world keeps spinnin round and round
And my hearts keeping time to the speed of sound 
I was lost till I heard the drums a then I found my way 
Cause you cant 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 gunna shake and shimmy it with all 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 were dreamin of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of hearts in love to stay
Cause you cant stop the beat 

Aah, aah, aah,
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Come on you Vantussles go and shake you 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 sign 
It seems Vantussle girls are always tryin to piece of one
But 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 were dreamin of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of hearts in love to stay
Cause you cant stop the beat 
You can’t stop the beat 
You can’t stop the beat 
You can’t stop the beat 

***************************

Blood on the pavement what a mess
“Is that your eyeball on my dress?”
Don’t drink and drive please keep your head?
“Or come graduation day you’ll be dead
Hands on the wheel though I know it a drag I’d hate to see that body in a body bag
Kids listen up cause I’m a mom 
Yes blood on the pavement will ruin your prom
