D7
I'm gonna write a little letter,
G7 D7
Gonna mail it to my local D.J.
G7
It's a rockin' little record
D7
I want my jockey to play.
G7
Roll over Beethoven,
A7 D7
Gotta hear 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
And tell Tchaikovsky the news.
I got a rockin' pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues, ooh.
I think I caught the arthritis
Sittin' down by rhythm reviews.
Roll over Beethoven
Rockin' in two by two.
D7
Well, if you fell it, like it
Go get your lover then reel and rock it,
G7
Roll it over and move on up
D7
Just a trifle further and reel and rock it,
G7
Roll it over, roll over Beethoven
A7 D7
Rockin' in two by two.
G7 D7 G7 D7 G7 A7 D7
D7
Early in the mornin'
G7
I'm a givin' you the warnin'
D7
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
G7
Hey, diddle diddle,
D7
I'm playing my fiddle,
Ain't got nothing to lose.
G7
Roll over Beethoven
A7 D7
And tell Tchaikovsky the news.
You know she wiggles like a glow worm ,
Dance like a spinnin' top.
She's got a crazy partner,
Ought to see 'em reel and rock.
As long as she got a dime
The music will never stop.
D7
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
G7
Roll over Beethoven,
D7
Roll over Beethoven,
A7
Roll over Beethoven,
D7
Dig to these rhythm'n'blues.
