Oh oh oh
Woke up today
Feeling the way i always do
Oh oh oh
Hungry for something
That i can't eat
Then i hear that beat
That rhythm of town
Starts calling me down
It's like a message from
High above
Oh oh oh
Pulling me out
To the smiles and the
Streets that i love
Good morning Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony
Good morning Baltimore
And someday when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me

Oh oh oh
Look at my hair
What do can compare with mine today
Oh oh oh
I've got my hairspray and radio
I'm ready to go
The rats on the street
All dance around my feet
They seem to say
Tracy it's up to you
So oh oh
Don't hold me back
'Cause today all my dreams
will come true
Good morning Baltimore
There's the flasher
who lives next door
There's the bum
on his bar room stool
They wish me luck on
my way to school
Good morning Baltimore
And some day
when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
I know every step
I know every song
I know there's a place where i belong
I see all those party lights
shining ahead
So someone invite me
Before i drop dead
Before she drops dead
So Oh Oh
Give me a chance
'Cause when i start to dance
i'm a movie star
Oh oh oh
Something inside of me makes me move
When i hear that groove
My ma tells me no
But my feet tell me go
It's like a drummer inside my heart

So oh oh
Don't make me wait
One more moment for my life to start
Good morning good morning
Waiting for my life to start
I love you Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony
And i promise Baltimore
That someday when
I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
Yes More Or Less We All Agree
Baltimore and me
Someday the world
Is gonna see
Baltimore and me

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
spinning 'Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til
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
What do ya' have to say Penny
I am now a checkerboard chick
You can't stop a river
As it rushes to the sea
You can try and stop
the hands of time
But ya know it just can't be
And if they try to
stop us seaweed
I'll call the n double a с 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
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
They can try to
stop the paradise
dreaming of But they
cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
Cause you cant stop the beat

Tracy I have a little
something I'd like to add
if you don't mind
You cant 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
'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 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
you cant stop the beat
Wilbur be a dear and
get me my oxygen NOW
Step aside Miss Buttercup
it's time to wrap this
mutha' up
Oh oh oh
You can't stop today
No
As it comes speeding down
the track
ohh ohh ohh child yes
Child yesterday is hist'ry
Be gone
And it's never coming back
Look ahead
Cause tomorrow is a
brand new day
And it don't know
white from black
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

On a saturday night
And so i'm gonna
