Rachel: You can't stop an avalanche, As it races down the hill, You can try to stop the seasons 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: '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!
