Roll Over Beethoven

Live Bootleg: The Boarding House, New York University, Binghamton
The Boarding House

Lyrics

Well well well

I'm gonna write a little letter,
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
About a jumping rhythm record
I want my jockey to play
Now Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

Like this

You see, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse
Yeah My heart's ??? rhythm
And my soul keeps singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

Watch this

Now, if you feel it like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it over and move it on up just
A trifle further gonna reel and rock with one another
Roll over Beethoven just a rockin' in two by two

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

Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven and ?? dig these rhythm and blues

Let's go

One more ??? thank you

You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
??? Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy little partner,
You oughta see 'em reel and rock that's true
Long as she got a dime the music can never stop

Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven and ?? dig these rhythm and blues

Lyrics

Well I'm gonna write a little letter,
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
About a jumping little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

My temperature's risin'
My jukebox blowing a fuse (that's right, give me that beat)
Well My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

Oh

But if you feel and like it
Get your lover, and reel and
One another
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

Well but if you feel and like it
Get your lover, and reel and rock and roll it over
And move it on up just try for further
And reel and rock and roll it over
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

Well but if you feel and like it
Get your lover, and reel and rock and roll it over
And move it on up just try for further
And reel and rock with one another
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

Well she shakes like a glow worm,
She shimmies like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy little partner,
You oughta see him reel and rock all right
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop

Well roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven, oh yeah
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven, ok
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

Yeah
