Roll Over Beethoven

[Chuck Berry cover]

I'm gonna write a little letter,
Gonna mail it to my local DJ.
Its a rocking rhythm record
I want my jockey to play.
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.

You know, my temperatures rising
And the jukebox blows a fuse.
My hearts beating rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin the blues.
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news.

I got the rocking pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I think I'm rolling arthritis
Sittin down by the rhythm review.
Roll over Beethoven rocking in two by two.

Well, if you feel you like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
Roll it over and move on up just
A trifle further and reel and rock it,
Roll it over,
Roll over Beethoven rocking in two by two.

Well, early in the morning I'm a-giving you a warning
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Hey diddle diddle, I am playing my fiddle,
Ain't got nothing to lose.
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news.

You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
Dance like a spinning 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.
