The Beatles – Roll over Beethoven Song Lyrics

About The Beatles: The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. They became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the history of popular music. Their best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, they later utilised several genres, ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. In the early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as “Beatlemania”, but as their songwriting grew in sophistication, they came to be perceived by many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era’s sociocultural revolutions.

Lyrics:

Well, gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local D.J.
It’s a rockin’ little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven
Gotta hear it again today

You know my temperature’s risin’
And the jukebox’s blows a fuse
My heart’s beatin’ rhythm
And my soul keeps singing the blues
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news

I got a rockin’ pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues (ooh)
I think I got it off the writer
Sittin’ down by the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven
We’re rockin’ in two by two

Well, if you feel it and like it
Well, get your lover and reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up
Just triffle further and reel and rock it
Roll it over
Roll over Beethoven
Rockin’ in two by two (ooh)

Well, early in the mornin’
I’m a-givin’ you the warnin’
Don’t you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey little little
I’ll play my fiddle
Ain’t got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news

You know she winks like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin’ top
She’s got a crazy partner
Oughta see ’em reel and rock
Long as she’s got a dime
The music will never stop

Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Dig these rhythm and blues
