Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Write a little letter
Gonna mail to my local DJ
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'
Jukebox's blowin' a fuse
My heart beatin' rhythm
Singing down at the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven
Rockin' in two by two
[Verse 3]
Well if you feel it like it
Go get your lover then reel and rock it
Roll it over then move on up
Try for further
And reel and rock it
Roll it over
Roll over Beethoven
Rockin' in two by two
[Verse 4]
Early in the mornin'
I'ma givin' you the one
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
He diddle-diddle, I'ma play my fiddle
Ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaiksosky the news
[Verse 5]
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Dig these rhythm and blues
