Dm
I'm gonna write a little letter,
Dm
Gonna mail it to my local DJ.
    G
It's a rockin' rhythm record
                 Dm
I want my jockey to play.
 G                    A                         Dm
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.
 
Dm
You know, my temperature's risin'

And the jukebox blows a fuse.
G
My heart's beatin' rhythm
                                      Dm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues.
G                    A                           Dm
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.

Dm
I got the rockin' pneumonia,

I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
G
I think I'm rollin' arthritis
                                 Dm
Sittin' down by the rhythm review.
G                   A                    Dm
Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.

Dm
well, if you feel you like it
Dm
go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
Dm             G
roll it over and move on up just
                 Dm
a trifle further and reel and rock it, roll it over,
G                   A                    Dm
roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.

Dm
Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you a warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
G
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle,
Dm
Ain't got nothin' to lose.
G                    A                            Dm
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.

Dm
You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
Dance like a spinnin' top.
G
She got a crazy partner,
                            Dm
Oughta see 'em reel and rock.
G                       A                       Dm
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop.

Dm
Roll over Beethoven,
Dm
Roll over Beethoven,
G
Roll over Beethoven,
Dm
Roll over Beethoven,
G                    A                            Dm
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues.
