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 Tchaikovsky the news.
|
|
I got the rockin' pneumonia,
|
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
|
I think I'm rollin' arthritis
|
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 Tchaikovsky 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
|
