Lyrics

Gonna write a little letter gonna mail it to me local d.j
Well it's a jumpin little record I want my jockey to play
A roll over beethoven, gotta hear it again today

Ya know my temperature's risin, need a shot of rhythm and blues
Well my heart's beatin a rhythm, I'm singin out rhythm and blues
Roll over beethoven, rockin in two by two

Well if you feel you like it, a get your lover and reel n rock in
Roll it over and a move on up now, go for cover and reel and rock it
Roll it over, roll over beethoven, tell tchaikovsky the news

Early in the mornin I'm a givin you the warnin
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Oh hey diddle diddle gonna play my fiddle
I ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over beethoven, tell tchaikovsky the news

Well she wiggles like a glow-worm, dance like a spinning top
Yeah she got a crazy partner, you should have seen her reel n 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 a rhythm and blues (repeat twice)

Roll over beethoven (repeat 7 times)
