A 1956 hit single by Chuck Berry originally released on Chess Records, It is one of the most widely covered songs in popular music. This is LEON RUSSELL in SHINDIG! (season 1, episode 14, November/18/1964) ABC TeleVision **lyrics** Im gonna write a little letter, Gonna mail it to my local dj. Its a rockin rhythm record I want my jockey to play. Roll over beethoven, I gotta hear it again today. You know, my temperatures risin And the jukebox blows a fuse. My hearts beatin rhythm And my soul keeps on singin the blues. Roll over beethoven and tell tschaikowsky the news. 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 Im a-givin you a warnin Dont you step on my blue suede shoes. Hey diddle diddle, I am playin my fiddle, Aint got nothin to lose. Roll over beethoven and tell tschaikowsky the news. Roll over beethoven, Roll over beethoven, Roll over beethoven, Roll over beethoven, Roll over beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues.
