[Eb]
[Ebm]
[Ab] [Eb]
Well, I'm gonna write a [Abm] little letter, I'm gonna mail it to [Eb] my local DJ
Yeah, it's [Ab] a jumpin' little record, I want [Eb] my jockey to play
[Bb] Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again [Eb] today
You know my temperature's [Ab] risin', the jukebox blowin' a [Eb] fuse
My [Abm] heart beatin' rhythm and my soul keep a [Eb]-singin' the blues
Roll [Bb] over Beethoven, tell [Eb] Tchaikovsky the news
I got to [Ab] rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of [Eb] rhythm and blues
I [Ab] caught the rollin' off a writer sittin' down at a [Eb] rhythm review
Roll [Db] over Beethoven, they're rockin' in [Eb] two by two
Well, if you feel it and like it, go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it [Bb] over, then [Ab] move on up just a trifle [Eb] further, then reel and rock with
Run another roll [Bb] over Beethoven, dig these [Eb] rhythm and blues
Come [Ab] [Eb]
[Ebm] [Eb]
[Bb] [Ab] [Eb]
on in, I'm givin' you my money, don't you step on my blue-sleeve shoes
[Ab] Hey, little, little, I'ma play my [Eb] fiddle, ain't got nothin' to lose
[Bb] Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky [Eb] the news
You know she wiggle like a [Ab] blowworm, dance like a [Eb] spinnin' top
She [Ab] got a crazy partner, you oughta [Eb] see him reel and rock
[Bb] Long as she got a dime, the music [Eb] won't never stop
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over [Ab] Beethoven, [Abm] roll over [Eb] Beethoven
Roll over [Bb] Beethoven, [Eb] dig these rhythm and blues
