(Chuck Berry)

|
I'm gonna write a little letter,
|
gonna mail it to my local DJ.
|
It's a rockin' rhythm 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 blows a fuse.
|
My heart's beatin' rhythm
|
and my soul keeps on singin' the blues.
|
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news.
|
|
I got the rockin' pneumonia,
|
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
|
I think I'm rollin' arthiritis
|
sittin' down by the rhythm review.
|
Roll Over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.
|
|
Well, if you feel you like it
|
go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
|
Roll it over and move on up just
|
a trifle further and reel and rock it,
|
roll it over,
|
Roll Over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.
|
|
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,
|
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 and dig these rhythm and blues.
