Album:
Olé ELO
Gonna write a little letter
gonna mail it to my local D.J.
Well, it's a jumping little record I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven
gotta hear it again today.


You know, my temperature's rising
need a shot of rhythm and blues
Well, my heart's beating a rhythm
shakin' out rhythm and blues
Roll over Beethoven
rockin' in two by two.


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.


Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you the warnin'
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.


Well, she wiggles like a glow-worm
she dances like a spinning top
Yeah, she got a crazy partner
you should have seen her reel and rock
Long as she got a dime
the music will never stop.


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
dig these rhythm and blues?


Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues?


Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues?


Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven.
