I don't own this song or Twilight. I do own Layla (she's me) and the dialogue for the other girls, although they are all my best friends. Here you go, River! And girls, you know who this is dedicated to! Note: here is where the lyrics go to a T, although I don't think the word is all that bad, but I'm being safe.

Layla hopped up from where she was sitting with River "OMG, KAT!!"

Her friend Kat had just walked in through the back door. "Am I late?"

"Nope," Layla responded. "You're just on time. I've gone off track for today, but I HAD to! This is a dedication to one of my best friends. Hope you like it! Ok, all the Cullens, and Bella, come on down!" The Cullens and Bella trudged onstage.

"Ready?" Layla called.

"No, but let's get it over with anyway," Edward replied. Layla threw eight scripts at each of them. Again, Edward caught Bella's and handed it to her.

"Carlisle and Esme can do backup," Layla announced, and then headed back to her stereo and pressed play.

Alice:
You cant stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl
But ya 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 till I heard the drums
Then I found my way

Alice and Jasper:
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 cant 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 cant stop the beat!

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

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

Bell:
And if they try to stop us, 'Edward',
I'll call the N-double-A-C-P!
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

Bella and Edward:
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 my might today

'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise
What I'm dreamin' of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
Cause you cant stop the beat!

Emmett:
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
So if you don't like the way I look
Well, I just don't give a damn!

Everyone:
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

'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 cant 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 cant stop the beat!

Rosalie:
Oh oh oh
You can't stop today
As it comes speeding down the track
Child, yesterday is hist'ry
And it's never coming back

Everyone:
'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day

Rosalie:
And it don't know white from black

Everyone:
Yeah!

'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
'Cause you cant 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 my might today
'Cause you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
They can try to stop this paradise
We're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
You can't stop the beat!

Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah

Ever since we first saw the sun
A man and woman like to shake it when the day is done
But we're gonna shake and shimmy it
And have some fun
For today! Cause you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
You can try to stop the paradise
We're dreaming of
But you 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!!
You can't stop the beat!!
You can't stop the beat!!

River, Layla, Kat, Krissi, and Ari were smiling like idiots. The Cullens were glaring at them, and everyone else just sat there.

"Oh, Kat!" River called. Layla started grinning like an idiot, and Kat joined them.

"Yeah?' Kat asked.

"Ligers and tigons and fish, WHAT NOW!" The three chorused. Krissi and Ari just shook their heads.

"It's the Pre-Algebra three," Ari explained to the rest of the group. "Just ignore them."

Everyone nodded vigorously.

So sorry I didn't do what I had promised! This was a dedication to one of my BFF's who loves Hairspray! I'll get right on what I had said I'd do.

Review!
