I'm gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local DJ Yeah, it's a rockin' rhythm record I want my jockey to play Roll Over Beethoven, gotta hear it again today
You know, my temperature's risin' and the jukebox blowin' a fuse My heart's beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps on singin' the blues Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news
I got the rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues I got the rollin' arthiritis sittin' down by the rhythm review Roll Over Beethoven rockin' in two by two
Well, if you feel it and like it Go get your lover And reel and rock it Roll it over and move on up Just a trifle further And reel and rock it, roll one another Roll Over Beethoven, and dig these rhythm and blues
Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you the 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 Tchaikovsky 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
Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven Roll Over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

When I look up to the skies I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow I rush home to bed I soak my head I see your face underneath my pillow I wake next morning tired still yawning See your face come peaking through my window Pictures of matchstick men and you Mirages of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you
[guitar intro]
Windows echo your reflection When I look in their direction gone When will this haunting stop Your face it just wont leave me a-lone Pictures of matchstick men and you Mirages of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie
[guitar intro]
Pictures of matchstick men, Pictures of matchstick...
A vacation in a foreign land, Uncle Sam does the best he can You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Now you remember what the draft man said, nothing to do all day but stay in bed You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood, nobody knows that you've left for good You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Smiling faces as you wait to land, but once you get there no-one gives a damn You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head, if you want to survive get out of bed You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Shots ring out in the dead of night, the sergeant calls 'Stand up and fight!' You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
You've got your orders better shoot on sight, your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Night is falling and you just can't see, is this illusion or reality? You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
