Lyrics


1. ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN

Gonna write a little letter gonna mail it to me local D.J.
Well it's a jumpin little record I want my jockey to play
A Roll Over Beethoven, gotta hear it again today

Ya know my temperature's risin, need a shot of rhythm and blues
Well my heart's beatin a rhythm, i'm singin out rhythm and blues
Roll Over Beethoven, rockin in two by two

Well if you feel you like it, a get your lover and reel n rock in
Roll it over and a move on up now, go for cover and reel and rock it
Roll it over, Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

Early in the mornin I'm a givin you the warnin,
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Oh hey diddle diddle gonna play my fiddle,
I ain't got nothing to lose
Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

Well she wiggles like a glow-worm, dance like a spinning top
Yeah she got a crazy partner, you should have seen her reel n 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, dig these a rhythm and blues (repeat twice)

Roll Over Beethoven (repeat 7 times)


2. QUEEN OF THE HOURS

Queen of the hours, lies
Waiting for the wind,
To blow away the veil of time
Slowly now the threads of age

Are starting to unwind
Queen of the hours,
Along, along, along the path of time, of time
She is still, the clock shall tell,
The tale when all is well, is well

Black was the night that
Came in from the east
And caused the land to sleep
Riding on a storm it carved
A message in the Isabella Creek.

Dawn is the death wish
Night has passed away
It left a sacred flower
Open up the grave and bowed it´s life
Unto the Queen of the hours.
