Roll Over Beethoven

Chuck Berry

[Verse 1]
I'm 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

[Verse 2]
You know my temperature's rising, the jukebox is blowing a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps a-singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

[Verse 3]
I got the rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I got the rockin' arthritis sittin' down at the rhythm reviews
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news, WAH!

[Bridge]
Well, if you feel like you like it, go get your lover
Then you reel and rock it, roll it over
Then you move on up just a trifle further
Then reel and rock it, roll it over
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news, WAH!

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 4]
Well, early in the morning I'm giving you the warning
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle-diddle, I will play my fiddle
Ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven, we're rockin' in two by two

[Verse 5]
You know she wiggles like a glow worm, spin like a spinning top
She's got a crazy partner, ought to see them reel and rock
Long as she's got a dime, the music won't ever stop

[Outro]
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, and dig these rhythm and blues
