I'm gonna write a little letter,

gonna mail it to my local DJ

It's a rockin' rhythm 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 blows a fuse

My heart's beatin' rhythm

and my soul keeps on singin' the blues

Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news



I got the rockin' pneumonia,

I need a shot of rhythm and blues

I think I'm rollin' arthiritis

sittin' down by the rhythm review

Roll Over Beethoven rockin' 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,

roll it over,

Roll Over Beethoven rockin' in two by two



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,

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 and dig these rhythm and blues
