Lyrics

Well, I'm-a write a little letter
I'm gonna mail it to my local dj
Yeah, it's a jumpin little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

You know, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blowin a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll over beethoven, tell tschaikowsky the news

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

Well, if you feel it 'n like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it over then move on up just
A trifle further then reel and rock with
One another
Roll over beethoven dig these rhythm and blues

Well, early in the mornin' I'm a givin' you a warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll over beethoven and tell tschaikowsky the news

You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
You oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she got a dime the music won't never stop

Roll over beethoven
Roll over beethoven
Roll over beethoven
Roll over beethoven
Roll over beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues
