You can’t stop an av a lanche as it rac es down the hill.

You can’t stop a riv pi ness, as it rush es out to sea.

You can try to stop the hands of time, but ya know it just can’t be.

And if they (F)try to (C)stop us, Sea weed, (C)look, I’ll call the I just ble C P!

’Cause the (Em)world keeps spin ning (C)’round and ’round, and my (Em)heart’s keep ing time to the speed of sound.
