Roll Over Beethoven (CKNW Broadcast) (Beatles 1964-08-22 Empire Stadium, Vancou Songtext
von The Beatles

We′re 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
I gotta hear it again today

You know my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox′s blowin′ a fuse
My hearts 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 fell you like it
Well, get your lover and reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up
Just jump around and reel and rock it
Roll it over
Roll over Beethoven
A-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
Gonna play my fiddle
Ain′t got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news

You know she winks like a glowworm
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 to these rhythm and blues
