ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN (By Chuck Berry, 1963. Sung by George)

We're gonna write a little letter

gonna mail it to my local DJ

it's a rocking litle record

I want my jockey to play

roll over Beethoven gotta hear it again today.

 

You know my temperature's rising

and the jukebox blows a fuse

my heart beatin' rhythm

and my soul keeps on singing 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' arthiritis

sittin' down by the rhythm review

roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.

 

Well if you're feeling like it

get your lover and reel and rock it

roll it over and move on up just

a triffle further and reel and rock it

roll it over

roll over Beethoven we're rocking in two by two.

 

Early in the morning

I'm a giving you the warning

don't you step on my blue suede shoes

hey diddle diddle I will play my fiddle

ain't nothing to lose

roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

 

You know she wiggles like a glow worm

dance like a spinnin' top

she's got a crazy partner

ought to 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, dig it to those rhythm and blues.
