                     D
Well I'm 'a write a little letter
                  G         D
Gonna mail it to my local DJ.
             G
Yeah It’s a jumpin little record
           G         D
I want my jockey to play.
 A                                            D
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.

You know my temperature's risin'
The jukebox blowin' a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keep a-singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven
Tell Tchaikovsky the news

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 rockin' in two by two

              D
Well, if you feel it and like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
                   G
Roll it over then move on up just
                        D
A trifle further, then reel and rock with
One another,
 A                                         D
Roll over Beethoven dig these rhythm and blues.

Well, early in the mornin',
and I'm givin' you my warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey, diddle diddle, I'ma play my fiddle
Ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news

You know she wiggle like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
You oughta see him 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
