Lyrics
Well, I'ma write a letter
I'm gon' mail it to my local DJ
Yeah that's the jumpin little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

You know, my temperature's risin'
The jukebox blowin' a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps a-singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I caught the rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down at a rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven, they rockin' in two by two

Well, if you feel and like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up just a
Trifle further, then reel and rock it
Wind another
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues

Well in the mornin' I'm givin' you my mornin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I'ma play my fiddle
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
Ya oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop

Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues
