Lyrics:
We're gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local D.J.
It's a rockin' little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven
Gotta hit it again today
You know my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse
My hearts beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps singing the blues
Roll over Beethoven
Tell Tchaikovsky 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 by the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven
Rockin' in two by two
Well if you felling like it
Well grab your lover and reel and rock it
Roll it over and move it on up
Just trifle further
Roll over Beethoven
A rockin' in two by two , oh
Well early in the mornin'
I'm gonna give you my warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey Dittle Dittle
Gonna play my fiddle
Ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven
Tell Tchaikovsky the news
You know she winks like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
Oughta see 'em reel an 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
Stick to these rhythm and blues
