Well I'm a write a little letter gonna mail it to my local DJ

Yes 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 a jukebox blowin' a fuse

My heart's a beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps a 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 caught the rockin' arthritis sittin' down at a rhythm review

Roll over Beethoven they're rockin' in two by two

Well if you feel you like it go get your lover then reel and rock it

With one another then move on up just a trifle further

Move and groove with one another

Roll over Beethoven dig these rhythm and blues yeah yeah

[ piano - guitar ]

Yeah it's early in the morning and I'm giving you my warning

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Hey diddle diddle I'm a playin' my fiddle and I 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 little partner you oughta see 'em reel and rock

Long as she's got a dime the music won't ever stop

Roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven...
