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

You know, my temperature's rising
The jukebox blowing a fuse
My heart's beating rhythm
And my soul keep a singing the blues
Roll over Beethoven
Tell Tchaikovsky the news

I got the rocking pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I caught the rolling arthiritis
Sitting down at a rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven
They're rocking in two by two

Well, if you feel it and like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up
Just a trifle further then reel and rock
With one another
Roll over, roll over Beethoven
And dig these rhythm and blues

Well, early in the morning
I'm a-giving you a warning
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I'm a play my fiddle
Ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven
Tell Tchaikovsky 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 won't never stop

Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues
