Intro - Bo Diddley Vamp
You don't love me, you don't care
You don't want me hangin' 'round here
Hangin' 'round here, hangin' 'round here
Well, I love you, yes, I do
Ain't nothin' in the world wouldn't do for you
I wouldn't do for you, wouldn't do for you
I wouldn't do for you
Yes, I saw you on the street
Tell yo' man, you didn't love me
You didn't love me, you didn't love me
You didn't love me
Yes, I need you, yes, I do
You know, pretty mama what I'll try for you
What I'll try for you, what I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
I'm gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
It's a rockin' rhythm record
I want my jockey to play
Roll Over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today
You know, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I think I'm rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down by the rhythm review
Roll Over Beethoven rockin' 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 it
Roll it over
Roll Over Beethoven 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 am playin' my fiddle
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news
You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
Oughta see 'em 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 dig these rhythm and blues
You don't want me hangin' 'round here
Hangin' 'round here, hangin' 'round here
Well, I love you, yes, I do
Ain't nothin' in the world wouldn't do for you
I wouldn't do for you, wouldn't do for you
I wouldn't do for you
Yes, I saw you on the street
Tell yo' man, you didn't love me
You didn't love me, you didn't love me
You didn't love me
Yes, I need you, yes, I do
You know, pretty mama what I'll try for you
What I'll try for you, what I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
What I'll try for you
I'm gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
It's a rockin' rhythm record
I want my jockey to play
Roll Over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today
You know, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I think I'm rollin' arthritis

Roll it over and move on up just

Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues
