"No Way to Stop It"
Song from The Sound of Music
Published 1959
Writer Oscar Hammerstein II
Composer Richard Rodgers

"No Way to Stop It" is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music, but not included in the later film version from 1965.

[edit] Context

Captain von Trapp has been hearing word that the Anschluss is approaching, and is formulating a method of evading the grasp of the Nazis. During this song, the Baroness and Max Detweiler are explaining to him that there is nothing he can do. They think he should be flexible and make the Nazis think that he is on their side. This song is a turning point in the musical for the Captain von Trapp, marking the point where he breaks off his relationship with Elsa (the Baroness), leaving him free to marry Maria.
