Roll Over Beethoven

Electric Light Orchestra

Gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local D.J.

It's a jumping little record I want my jockey to play

Roll Over Beethoven

Gotta hear it again today.



My temperature's rising, the juke box's blowing a fuse

My heart's beating a rhythm, singing out rhythm & blues

Roll Over Beethoven

They're rocking in two by two.



CHORUS

Well, if you feel you like it

Go get your lover and reel and rock it

Roll it over and move on up now

Go for cover and reel and rock it

Roll it over

Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news.



Early in the morning I'm giving you my warning

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Hey, diddle diddle, gonna play my fiddle

I ain't got nothing to lose

Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news.



She wiggles like a glow worm, dances like a spinning top

She got a crazy partner, you should of seen her reel & rock

Long as she got a dime

The music will never stop.



REPEAT CHORUS



Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven

Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm & blues?
