Roll Over Beethoven (Alan Freed Show, 1956)

Well, I'm gonna write a little letter

Gonna mail it to my local DJ

It's a rocking rhythm record

I want my jockey to play

Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

With temperature's rising

And the jukebox blows a fuse

Well, my heart's beating rhythm

And my soul keeps on singing the blues

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

I got the rocking pneumonia

I need a shot of rhythm and blues

I thought I'm rolling arthiritis

Sitting down by the rhythm review

Roll over Beethoven rocking in two by two

Well, if you feel you like it

Go get your lover, then reel and rock it

Roll it over and move on up just

A trifle further and reel and rock with one another

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

(Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)

(Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)

Well, early in the morning I'm giving you a warning

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Hey diddle diddle, I am playing my fiddle

Ain't got nothing to lose

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

You know she wiggle like a glow-worm

Dance like a spinning top

She got a crazy partner

You oughta see him 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 tell Tchaikovsky the news

Chuck Berry

Yours fabulous
