Beatles, The - Roll Over Beethoven Lyrics






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

You know my temperature's rising
And the jukebox blows a fuse
My heart beating rhythm
While my soul keeps singing the blues
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news

I got a rocking pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I think I caught it off the writer
Sittin' down by the rhythm reviews
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
A rocking in two by two - Ooo

Well early in the morning
I'm a giving you the warning
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle
I'll play my fiddle
Ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news

You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinning top
She's got a crazy partner
Oughta see them reel an 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

Beatles, The Roll Over Beethoven Comments
  1. s.... e....

    Happy music

  2. G.... ....

    I like that I can hear a heartbeat in the music.

  3. �.... �....

    Битлз вне времени! Вне конкуренции!!!

  4. t.... 5....

    rooolllll over baytoven

  5. D.... D....

    Chuck---I apologize. Your version was great, but I must confess, I like this version better. But if not for you, there probably would be no rock n' roll.

  6. R.... S....

    Inspired by the great Chuck Berry and of course the greatest of ALLL Tchaikovsky

    R.... S....

    Tell us what is was in Tchaikovsky in this song that inspired The Beatles apart from literally just name checking him because it was in the lyric of the song that Chuck Berry wrote?

  7. a.... i....

    my right ear is suffering

  8. d.... r....

    R.I.P. rock'n'roll GIANT-Chuck Berry!

  9. J.... K....

    I love the way George’s voice just flows through the lyrics in this song as if he’s saying each line as one word

  10. T.... F....

    George is a legend.

  11. m.... ....

    Check out the Album cover. Can anyone else see the message? John first, John the first to die, then Geo. he the second to die. Next Paul??? Then Ringo below, alone by himself...will he live to be the last and at a ripe old age alone?? Very strange omen here.

  12. M.... O....

    Autoplay led to this and I was confused for a second.

  13. M.... D....

    Genius ringo on drums

  14. D.... G....

    RIP Chuck Berry
    RIP George Harrison
    RIP John Lennon

    D.... G....

    RIP Paul McCartney too.

    D.... G....

    @Singednergy Bot Lane Paul's still alive

  15. S.... F....

    The Beatles made Jeff Lynne proud. :)

  16. m.... W....

    When dow Louisiana close New Orleans

    m.... W....

    Way back up in the woods among the evergreens

  17. c.... 8....

    As long as she's got a dime the music will never stop....

  18. R.... F....

    Who came here after Superman III class reunion scene? 😄

  19. s.... ....

    Just the tune to get you started on your day.

  20. L.... C....

    Music has no color we jam we sweat we love we shower and enjoy life.chuck berry created the sound refined repeated and redone but he proved till the day he died who originated it.like the 60yr olds in hip hop still outselling and performing everybody after them create don't duplicate.

  21. K.... G....

    Rololowo beeethouvn

  22. c.... a....

    Clark Kent goes back to Smallville for high school reunion in Superman III
    at that time while Clark was having small chat with old lady than we hear a song; the Roll Over Beethoven the way The Beatles singing..

  23. R.... R....

    Long as you got a dime the music will never stop? If only that were still true...

  24. T.... L....

    Thank you for finally making it easy for us to share The Beatles with people online and let them hear amazing rock classics like this. We truly hope this gives old fans fond memories and introduces new fans to one of the greatest Rock & Roll bands in history.

  25. J.... E....

    2019/beatles lovers only like ❤️

  26. j.... ....

  29. f.... y....

    The best band anywhere at any time ever. I hope Paul and Ringo live forever. RIP John and George

  30. I.... U....

    Very underrated song

  31. H.... k....

    yeeaahh 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

  32. k.... ....

    It's funny how good their cover of Rock and Roll Music is while this one is terrible.

  33. T.... D....

    This is as good as Rock and Roll gets!!!!

  34. A.... J....

    I feel like George was sometimes an under rated Beatle.He deserved a bit more love

    A.... J....

    He got it later

  35. J.... C....

    - Lead Vocals, Lead Guitar & Handclaps: George Harrison
    - Rhythm Guitar & Handclaps: John Lennon
    - Bass & Handclaps: Paul McCartney
    - Drums & Handclaps: Ringo Starr

  36. E.... ....

    What’s with the Johnny be good at the start?

    E.... ....

    The Roll Over Beethoven intro is basically the same thing

  37. M.... C....

    👌👌👌👌👌.....2019

  38. C.... O....

    Rhull ovah bae-toe-ven

  39. �.... �....

    And tell Tachanka the news...

  40. S.... ....

    George rocks as always

  41. S.... z....

    Such a perfect drum fill at 1:27

    S.... z....

    I KNOW I'm so happy that someone also appreciates this!!

  42. F.... J....

    1:11 is such a good switch and a really well timed one at that

  43. P.... W....

    The most remarkable thing about this song is Lennon's rhythm guitar. It's pure bliss. Paul's bass line is nuanced too, perfectly fluttering beneath it.

  44. R.... F....

    This was played in Superman 3, when Clark Kent returned to Smallville for his high school reunion.

    R.... F....

    The only good part of superman 3

  45. �.... ....

  46. j.... ....

    The Beatles didn't cover songs they stole them and made them theirs

  47. G.... C....

    I'm currently learning the lead guitar for this song. My fingertips are killing my but MAN that intro is fun to play!

    G.... C....

    I hear ya. You're on the right track. "I got blisters on my fingers!" - from the White Album. George played until his fingers bled. Good luck, and keep it up. Regards, The '62 Mathew St. 1-Man-Band (Total Retro Rock)

  48. G.... C....

    *Intense screaming*

  49. s.... ....

    I almost want to think that John is the one you can hear above the rest, know how he screams and sings...but on this, it might just be George lol

  50. D.... D....

    That riff at the beginning just made me want to dance.

  51. M.... W....
