Roll Over Beethoven (Live at the BBC for "From Us to You Say The Beatles" / 30th March, 1964) Lyrics

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

Know my temperature's risin'
Jukebox blows a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps singin' the blues

Roll over Beethoven
Tell Tchaikovsky the news

Well, if you feel it and like it
Get your lover and reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up
Just a trifle further and reel and rock it

Roll it over
Roll over Beethoven
Dig to these rhythm and blues

Early in the mornin'
I'm a-givin' you the warning
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey, diddle-diddle, I'll play my fiddle
I got nothin' to lose

Roll over Beethoven
We're rockin' in two by two

You know she wiggles like a glow-worm
And dance like a spinnin' top
She's got a crazy partner
Ought a see 'em reel and rock
While she's got a dime
The music will never stop

Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Dig to these rhythm and blues
