Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'll write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local DJ

Oh, this jumpin' little record I just want my jockey to play

Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

Oh, temperature's risin', jukebox blowin' a fuse

'Cause that's a'rockin' but it didn't have a rhythm with you

Roll over Beethoven and groovin' in two by two

[Verse 2]

Well, if you feel just like go get your lover and reel and rock

Ah, now move it on up just a little bit further

Movin' and groovin' with one another

Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues

Alright, baby

[Verse 3]

Oh, she really like to go where fannies drop

Tryna create a little party, you ought to see 'em reel and rock

Oh, now she's got a hundred dollar bill hidden up her stock

[Verse 4]

Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven

Roll over Beethoven, looky, looky Beethoven

Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues

Play it, guitar boy

[Verse 5]

Well, it's early in the morning and I'm givin' you my warning

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Hey diddle diddle, I'm playin' on my fiddle

And ain't got much to lose

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

[Verse 6]

Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven

Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven

Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues
