Gonna write a little letter, mail it to my local DJ

It's a rockin' little record I want my jockey to play

Roll over Beethoven, I hear it again today



You know my temperature's rising and the juke-box blows a fuse

My heart's beatin' rhythm and my soul is a-singing the blues

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikowsky the news



I got a rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues

I think I got it off the writer sittin' down at the rhythm review

Roll over Beethoven, we're rockin' by two by two



Well, if you feel you like it

Well get your lover and reel and rock it

Roll it over and move on up just

A little bit further and reel and rock it, roll it over

Roll over Beethoven, and dig these rhythm and blues



Early in the morning I'm a-givin' you the warnin'

don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Hey little little gonna play my fiddle, ain't got nothin' to lose

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikowsky the news



You know she winks like a glow worm and dance like a spinnin' top

She's got a crazy partner, oughta see 'em reel and rock

Long as she's got a dime, the music will never stop



Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven

Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven

Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues



(Thany you, dômo arigatô

nice and I love you. Thank you)
