With The Beatles

Well, gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
It’s a rockin’ little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven
Gotta hear it again today


You know my temperature’s risin’
And the jukebox’s blows a fuse
My heart’s beatin’ rhythm
And my soul keeps singing the blues
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news


I got a rockin’ pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues (woo)
I think I got it off the writer
Sittin’ down by the rhythm revue
Roll over Beethoven
We’re rockin’ in two by two


Well, if you feel it and like it
Well, get your lover and reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up just
Triffle further and reel and rock it
Roll it over, roll over Beethoven
Rockin’ in two by two (woo)


Well early in the morning, I’m a giving you the warning
Don’t you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I’ll play my fiddle
Ain’t got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news


You know she winks like a glow worm
Dance like a spinning top
She’s got a crazy partner
Oughta see them reel and rock
Long as she’s got a dime
The music will never stop


Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Dig to these rhythm and blues
