Roll Over, Beethoven

Hey George, hey!

You know who Beethoven is?

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Johnny I don't even know who Tchaikovsky is

Well we're gonna do a song about both of 'em

We're gonna learn something

Listen up!

We're gonna write a little letter

Gonna mail it to our local DJ

Yeah, it's a jumpin' little record

Me and Johnny wants to talk you to play

Roll over Beethoven

Gotta hear it again today

Yeah, you know my temperature's a risin'

That jukebox is blowin' a fuse

Don't get all messed up John

My heart's a beatin' rhythm John

And my soul keeps a singin' the blues

Roll over Beethoven

And tell Tchaikovsky the news

John, we got the rockin' pneumonia

We need a shot of rhythm and blues

Yeah, we caught the rollin' arthritis

Sittin' at a rhythm revue

Yeah, huh!

Roll over Beethoven

They're rockin' in a two by two

Well if you feel like it

Go get your lover, then reel and rock it

Roll it over then move on up

Just a trifle further

Reel and rock with one another

Roll over Beethoven

Give me rhythm and blues

Yeah, early in the mornin'

I'm givin' you my warnin'

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Hey, diddle, diddle

I'm playin' my fiddle

'Cause I ain't got nothin' to lose

Roll over Beethoven

Tell Tchaikovsky the news

You know she wiggle like a glow worm

Dances like a spinnin' top

Yeah, got a crazy little partner

You oughta see 'em reel and rock

John, long as she's got a dime

That music ain't gonna ever stop

Roll over Beethoven, roll over

Roll over Beethoven, roll over

Roll over Beethoven, roll over

Roll over Beethoven, roll over

Roll over Beethoven

And give me rhythm and blues

Roll over Beethoven, roll over

Roll over Beethoven, roll over

Roll over Beethoven, roll over

Roll over Beethoven, roll over

Roll over Beethoven

Give me rhythm and blues
