Roll Over Beethoven (Alan Freed Show, 1956)

Well, I'm gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
It's a rocking rhythm record
I want my jockey to play

Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today
With temperature's rising
And the jukebox blows a fuse
Well, my heart's beating rhythm
And my soul keeps on singing the blues

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
I got the rocking pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I thought I'm rolling arthiritis
Sitting down by the rhythm review

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

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

(Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)
(Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)

Well, early in the morning I'm giving you a warning
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I am playing my fiddle
Ain't got nothing to lose

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
You know she wiggle like a glow-worm
Dance like a spinning top
She got a crazy partner
You oughta see him reel and rock
Long as she got a dime, the music will never stop

Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

Chuck Berry
Yours fabulous
