I'm gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local DJ
Yeah, it's a rocking little record I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

You know my temperature's rising and the jukebox blowing a fuse
My heart's beating rhythm and my soul keeps a-singing the blues
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news

I got a rocking pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I got the rolling arthritis sitting down at the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven and rocking 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
With one and other
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

Well, early in the morning I'm a-giving you the warning: don't you step on my blue Suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I'm playing my fiddle, ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news

You know she wiggles like a glow worm, dance like a spinning top
She got a crazy partner, you 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 (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues
