Roll Over Beethoven
Chuck Berry/Musicfire.in Lyrics

Well, I'ma write a letter
I'm going to write a letter to my local DJ to request that he play a certain song.

I'm gon' mail it to my local DJ
I'm going to send this letter to my local DJ by mail.

Yeah that's the jumpin little record
That song is really great and enjoyable to listen to.

I want my jockey to play
I want the DJ to play that song for me.

Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today
I want to hear that song again today and I'm urging Beethoven to move aside and make way for the new sounds of rock and roll.

You know, my temperature's risin'
I'm getting really excited and worked up over this song.

The jukebox blowin' a fuse
The jukebox is playing the song so loudly and energetically that it seems like it might break down.

My heart's beatin' rhythm
The song has really gotten me moving and feeling the beat in my heart.

And my soul keeps a-singin' the blues
Even though the song is not a blues song, it is so good and so powerful that it makes me feel like singing the blues alongside it.

Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news
The news is that rock and roll is the new thing and Beethoven and Tchaikovsky need to move over and make room for it.

I got the rockin' pneumonia
I am so caught up in the excitement of rock and roll that it feels like I have come down with a fever.

I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I need more music that has a strong beat and a great sound like this song does.

I caught the rollin' arthritis
I might be getting older, but I still love to dance and move to the beat of the music.

Sittin' down at a rhythm review
I am sitting down and listening to a live performance of some great music that really gets me moving.

Roll over Beethoven, they rockin' in two by two
As people are hearing this great new music, they are pairing up and dancing together to its infectious rhythm and beat.

Well, if you feel and like it
If you're feeling good and enjoying this music like I am,

Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
find someone you care about and dance with them to this great music.

Roll it over and move on up just a
Let the momentum of the beat carry you forward and up higher,

Trifle further, then reel and rock it
then dance together and enjoy the music even more.

Wind another
Let's keep going and play another song to keep the good times rolling.

Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues
This is such great music that we need to keep it going and make sure that Beethoven and others hear how powerful rock and roll can be.

Well in the mornin' I'm givin' you my mornin'
Tomorrow morning I will be giving a performance and sharing my own music with you.

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
But please be careful - these shoes are very special to me, and I don't want them to get ruined.

Hey diddle diddle, I'ma play my fiddle
I'm going to play my fiddle and create even more great music for us to enjoy together.

Ain't got nothin' to lose
I'm not afraid to take risks and put myself out there, because I have nothing to lose.

Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news
Rock and roll is here to stay, and even the great classical composers need to know about it.

You know she wiggles like a glow worm
There's a girl dancing along to this music who moves and shakes like a soft and glowing worm.

Dance like a spinnin' top
She dances so energetically and rhythmically that she looks like a spinning top in motion.

She got a crazy partner
The girl has found an equally infectious partner who loves to dance and move to the beat of the music.

Ya oughta see 'em reel and rock
The two dancers are really going at it and dancing together so well that it's amazing to watch.

Long as she got a dime the music will never stop
As long as they have just a little bit of money to spare, these dancers will keep the music going and enjoy it as long as they can.

Roll over Beethoven
Move over, Beethoven! Rock and roll is here to stay, and it's taking over the music scene.

Roll over Beethoven
This music is so great that we need to keep it going and listening to it over and over again.

Roll over Beethoven
Move aside, Beethoven - rock and roll is what we want to hear now, and it's going to take over the airwaves and our hearts.

Roll over Beethoven
Get ready to hear a lot more great music, because rock and roll is just getting started.

Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues
This is such great music that we can't get enough of it. Let's keep going and share it with everyone we know.
