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
