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
