Gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local D.J.
It’s a rockin’ rhythm record I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, 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, tell Tschaikowsky the news
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, dig these rhythm and blues
Early in the mornin’ I’m a-givin’ you the 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 rockin’ in two by two
You know she wiggles like a glow worm, dance like a spinnin’ top
She’s 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, dig to these rhythm and blues
