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 Tschaikowsky the news.

I got the rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I caught the rollin' off a writer, sittin' down by the rhythm review.
Roll Over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.

Well, if you feel you like it

C                F
Roll it over and move on up just
F                    C
a trifle further and reel and rock it,
C
roll it over,

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 Tschaikowsky 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 and dig these rhythm and blues.
