Electric Light Orchestra - Roll Over Beethoven 1972

Gonna write a little letter

gonna mail it to me local D.J.

it's a jumpin little record

I want my jockey to play

Roll Over Beethoven,

gotta hear it again today

My temperature's risin,

the juke box's blowin a fuse

My heart's beatin a rhythm,

singin out rhythm and blues

Roll Over Beethoven,

they're rockin in two by two

Well if you feel you like it,

go get your lover and reel and rock it

roll it over and move on up now,

go for cover and reel and rock it

roll it over, Roll Over Beethoven,

tell Tchaikovsky the news

(Instrumental)

Early in the mornin I'm a givin you the warnin,

don't you step on my blue suede shoes

hey diddle diddle gonna play my fiddle,

I ain't got nothing to lose

Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

She wiggles like a glow-worm,

she dances like a spinning top

she got a crazy partner,

you should have seen her reel and rock

long as she got a dime,

the music will never stop

(Instrumental)

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven,

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven,

Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues?

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven,

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven,

Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues?

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven,

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven,

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven,

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven

Roy Wood was ill, or had left the band at this point..so Jeff did an impersonation of him. He gets many of Roy's mannerisms spot on.

I saw them at the St. Albans Civic Centre in 1972, their first tour. They played this twice, claiming it was the only rock 'n' roll song they knew, and saying they'd never played it live. Magnificent.
