Roll over Beethoven lyrics
by Electric Light Orchestra



Gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to me local D.J.
It's a jumpin little record I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, gotta hear it again today

My temperature's risin', need-a some rhythm and blues
Well, my heart's beatin' a rhythm, singin' out rhythm and blues, oooh
Roll over Beethoven, they're rockin' in two by two

Well, if you feel you like it, go get your lover and reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up now, go for cover and reel and rock it
Roll it over, Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news
Oooh!

Early in the mornin' I'm a givin' you the warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey, diddle, diddle, gonna play my fiddle
I ain't got nothing to lose
Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

She wiggles like a glow-worm, she dances like a spinning top
Yeah, she got a crazy partner, you should have seen her reel and rock, oooh!
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop

Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, oooh, Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues?

Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, oooh, Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues?

Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
