Verse 1
Well I'm 'a write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
Yeah, it's a jumpin' little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today
Verse 2
You know, my temperature's risin'
And the juke box blowin' a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
Verse 3
I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I caught the rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down at a rhythm revue
Roll over Beethoven, they're rockin' in two by two
Verse 4
Well, if you feel it and like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it over then move on up just
A trifle further, then reel and rock with one another
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues

Verse 5
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 Tchaikovsky the news
Verse 6
You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
You oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop
Outro
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues
