  			E 
I'm gonna write a little letter, 
E 
Gonna mail it to my local DJ. 
       A 
It's a rockin' rhythm record 
                    E 
I want my jockey to play. 
     B                                       E 
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today. 
 
You know, my temperature's risin' 
And the jukebox blows a fuse. 
My heart's beatin' rhythm 
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues. 
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news. 
 
I got the rockin' pneumonia, 
I need a shot of rhythm and blues. 
I think I'm rollin' arthritis 
Sittin' down by the rhythm review. 
Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two. 
 
 
BRIDGE 
E 
well, if you feel you like it 
E 
go get your lover, then reel and rock it. 
E                A 
roll it over and move on up just 
A                    E 
a trifle further and reel and rock it, roll it over, 
E    B 
roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two. 
 
 
Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you a warnin' 
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes. 
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle, 
Ain't got nothin' to lose. 
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news. 
 
You know she wiggles like a glow worm, 
Dance like a spinnin' 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.
