Rachel:
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 dancin' feet
But I just cannot stand still
'Cause the world keeps spinnin'
Round and round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I heard the drums
And I found my way
'Cause you can't stop the beat...
Five, six, seven, eight!

Rachel and Finn:
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
If you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you can't stop the beat!

Kurt:
You can't stop a river
As it rushes to the sea

Artie:
You can try to stop the hands of time
But ya' know it just can't be

Kurt:
And if they try to stop us, Artie

Kurt and Artie:
I'll call the N-double-A-C-P

Kurt:
'Cause the world keeps spinning
'Round and 'round (Artie: 'Round and 'round)
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound (Artie: Speed of sound)
I was lost 'til I heard the drums

Kurt and Artie:
Then I found my way!

Kurt:
'Cause you can't stop the beat

Kurt and Artie:
Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it
On a Saturday night
So I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
With all of my might today

Kurt:
'Cause you can't stop

Kurt and Artie:
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise
We're dreamin' of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
'Cause you can't stop the beat!

New Directions:
