Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm gon' write a little letter, I'm gon' mail it to my local DJ
Yeah, this a jumpin' little record I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today
[Verse 2]
You know my temperature risin', the jukebox blowin' a fuse
My heart beatin' rhythm and my soul keep a-singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news
[Verse 3]
I got the rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I caught the rollin' arthritis sittin' down at a rhythm revue
Roll over Beethoven, they're rockin' in two by two
[Bridge]
Well, if you feel it and like it, go get your lover
Then reel and rock it, roll it over
Then move on up, yes, a trifle further
Then reel and rock with one another
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues
[Verse 4]
Well, early in the mornin' I'm givin' you my warnin', don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle-diddle, I'm gon' play my fiddle, ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news
[Verse 5]
You know she wiggle like a glow worm, dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner, you ought to see him reel and rock
Long as she got a dime, the music won't never stop
[Outro]
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues
