Roll over Beethoven Songtext

von Carl Perkins

Well I'm a-write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
Yes it's a jumpin' little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

You know my temperature's risin'
The jukebox blowin' the fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keep a-singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tschaikowsky the news

I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm 'n' blues
I caught the rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down at a rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven, they're rockin' in two by two

Well, if you feel it and like it go get your lover
Then reel and rock it, roll it over
Then move on up just a trifle further
Then reel and rock with one another
Roll over Beethoven an' dig these rythm 'n' blues

Well, early in the mornin' and I'm givin' you my warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I'm a playin' my fiddle
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tschaikowsky the news

You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
You oughta see 'em reel an' rock
Long as she got a dime the music won't never stop

Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven an' dig these rhythm 'n' blues
