 Verse 1 I’m gonna write  a little letter

  I want  my jockey to play.
  Roll over  Beethoven, I gotta  hear it again to – day.
 Verse 2 You know, my temperature’s  risin,
  And the juicebox  blows a fuse.

  And my soul  keeps on singin’ the blues.
  Roll over  Beethhoven and tell  Tchaikovsky the news.
 Verse 3 I got the rockin’  Pheumonia
  I need  a shot of rhythm and blues.
  I caught the rollin’  arthiritus
  Sittin’ down  by thr rhythm re – view.
  Roll over  Beethoven they’re rockin’ in two  by two.
 Verse 4 Well, if you feel  you like it
  Go get your lover, then reel  and rock it.

  Hey  diddle diddle, I am playin’  my fiddle,
  Ain’t  got nothin’ to lose.
  Roll over  Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.
 Verse 6 You know she wiggles  like a glow worm,
  Dance  like a spinnin’ top.
  She got a crazy  partner,
  Oughta see ‘em reel and rock.
  Long as she  got a dime the music will never stop.
 Outro Roll over Beet – hoven,
  Roll over Beet – hoven,
  Roll over Beet – hoven,
  Roll over Beet – hoven,
  Roll over Beet – hoven  and dig these rhythm and blues.
