E
I'm gonna write a little letter,
E
Gonna mail it to my local DJ.
       A
It's a rockin' rhythm record
                    E
I want my jockey to play.
     B                                       E
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 Tchaikovsky the news.

I got the rockin' pneumonia,

I need a shot of rhythm and blues.

I think I'm rollin' arthritis

Sittin' down by the rhythm review.

Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.

 
E
well, if you feel you like it
E
go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
E                A
roll it over and move on up just
A                    E
a trifle further and reel and rock it, roll it over,
E    B
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 Tchaikovsky 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
