I'm gonna write a little letter
Mail it to my local DJ
This rocking little mama
I want my jockey to play
Roll over, Beethoven
Gotta hear it again today

I've got the rocking pneumonia
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
I've got rocking arthritis
I'm going down the rhythm revue
Roll over, Beethoven
Tell Tchaikovsky the news

Roll over, Beethoven
Roll over, Beethoven
Roll over, Beethoven
Roll over, Beethoven
Roll over, Beethoven
Tell Tchaikovsky the news

I'm gonna write a little letter
And mail it to my local DJ
Well this rocking little mama
I want my jockey to play
Roll over, Beethoven
Gotta hear it again today
