Got your Rhymes going round in my head
Got your supersonic beats mixing up my Keds
So dance little DJ come on
What's your name?

I want to move but I don't feel right
'Cause you've been playing other peoples songs all night
So tell what you're trying to say
What's your name?

Hey Rollover DJ
You're spinning away
On my time
Hey, who cares what you play
Say whatever you say, I don't mind
Hey, roll over DJ, if you don't mind

Well I know that you think you're the star
A pill poppin' jukebox is all that you are
So tell me it ain't that way
What's you're name?

Hey roll over DJ
You're spinning away
On my time
Hey, who cares what you play
Say whatever you say, cause I don't mind
Hey roll over DJ if you don't mind

Hey roll over DJ
You're spinning away
On my time
Hey, who cares what you play
Say whatever you say, cause I don't mind
Hey roll over DJ if you don't mind
Hey roll over DJ if you don't mind
Hey roll over DJ if you don't mind
