E7
Iʼm gonna write a little letter,
E7
Gonna mail it to my local DJ.
A
Itʼs a rockinʼ rhythm record
E7
I want my jockey to play.
BE7
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.
You know, my temperatureʼs risinʼ
And the jukebox blows a fuse.
My heartʼs beatinʼ rhythm
And my soul keeps on singinʼ the blues.
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.
I got the rockinʼ pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I think Iʼm rollinʼ arthritis
Sittinʼ down by the rhythm review.
Roll over Beethoven rockinʼ in two by two.
Bridge:
E7
well, if you feel you like it
E7
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
E7A
roll it over and move on up just
AE7
a trifle further and reel and rock it, roll it over,
E7B
roll over Beethoven rockinʼ in two by two.
Well, early in the morninʼ Iʼm a-givinʼ you a warninʼ
Donʼt you step on my blue suede shoes.
Hey diddle diddle, I Am playinʼ my fiddle,
Ainʼt got nothinʼ to lose.
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.
You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
Dance like a spinninʼ top.
She got a crazy partner,
Oughta see ʼem 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.
