Sittin’ down by the rhythm revie	ws

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, trifle further

And-a	reel and rock it, roll it over

Hey diddle diddle, I’ll play my fiddle

Ain’t got nothing to lose
