Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)
BB Bumble and the Stingers, Mott the Hoople, Ray Charles Singers
Lonnie Mack and twangin' Eddy, here's my ring we're goin' steady
Take it easy, take me higher, liar liar, house on fire
Locomotion, poco, passion, deeper purple, satisfaction
Baby baby gotta gotta gimme gimme gettin' hotter
Sammy's cookin', Lesley Gore and Ritchie Valens, end of story
Mahavishnu, fujiyama, kama-sutra, rama-lama
Richard Perry, Spector, Barry, Righteous, Archies, Nilsson, Harry
Shimmy shimmy ko-ko bop and Fats is back and Finger Poppin'
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
Gotta turn it up louder, so my DJ told me, whoa, whoa
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me (life is a rock)
At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie (life is a rock)
FM, AM, hits are clickin' while the clock is tock-a-tickin'
Friends and Romans, salutations, Brenda and the Tabulations
Carly Simon, I behold her, Rolling Stones and centerfoldin'
Johnny Cash and Johnny Rivers, can't stop now, I got the shivers
Mungo Jerry, Peter Peter Paul and Paul and Mary Mary
Dr. John the nightly tripper, Doris Day and Jack the Ripper
Gotta go sir, gotta swelter, Leon Russell, gimme shelter
Miracles in smokey places, slide guitars and Fender basses
Mushroom omelet, Bonnie Bramlett, Wilson Pickett, stop and kick it
Life is a rock but the radio
Life is a rock but the radio
Arthur Janov's primal screamin', Hawkins, Jay and Dale and Ronnie
Kukla, Fran and Norman, Okla Denver, John and Osmond, Donny
JJ Cale and ZZ Top and LL Bean and De De Dinah
David Bowie, Steely Dan and sing me prouder, CC Rider
Edgar Winter, Joanie Sommers, Osmond Brothers, Johnny Thunders
Eric Clapton, pedal wah-wah, Stephen Foster, do-dah do-dah
Good Vibrations, Help Me Rhonda, Surfer Girl and Little Honda
Tighter, tighter, honey, honey, sugar, sugar, yummy, yummy
CBS and Warner Brothers, RCA and all the others
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me (life is a rock)
Gotta turn it up louder, so my DJ told me (life is a rock, life is a rock) whoa, whoa, whoa
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me (life is a rock)
At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie
(Listen, remember, they're playing our song)
Rock it, sock it, Alan Freed me, Murray Kaufman, try to leave me
Fish, and swim, and Boston Monkey, make it bad and play it funky (wanna take ya higher)
Freddie King and Albert King and BB King and frolicking
Get it on and Nat Gerardi, Papalardi, Hale and Hearty (baby, baby, baby, light my fire)
(Celebrate, dance to the music)
Those are perfect more than human gentle words of Randy Newman (celebrate, celebrate)
One, two, three; so, watch it, please, I need a breather! (Dance to the music, wanna take)
(Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music) ya higher
Tito Puente, Boffalongo, Cuba, war and even Mongo (celebrate, celebrate)
Peter Dial, Alex Hood, Boogie Brass (baby, baby, baby, light my fire)
(Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music)
Whoo!
California, Beatlemania
New York City, Transylvania
S&G, Bobby Vee
And SRO, yeah, yeah!
