Lyrics for Post Below

Words and music: N. Dolph, P. DiFranco en J. Levine (Reunion) / trad.; arr.: Max van de Kamp


B.B. Bumble and the Stingers;
Martha Hooper; Ray Charles Singers
Lonnie Mac & Twangin’ Eddie;
Here’s my ring: we’re goin’ steady.
Take it easy; take me higher;
Liar, liar, house on fire;
Loco-motion; Poco Pashion;
Deeper Purple; Satisfaction;
Baby, baby; gotta, gotta; gimme, gimme; gettin’ hotter;
Sammy’s cookin’; Lesley’s Gorey;
Ritchie Valens; End of story.
Mahavishnu; Fujiyama;
Karma Sutra; Rahma Lama;
Richard Perry; Spector;
Barry Righteous; Archies; Nillson, Harry;
Shimmy, shimmy, coco-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! (Whoop! Whoop!)
Life is a rock, but the radio rolled me! (Life is a rock; life is a rock.)
At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie.

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 Stoning; centerfolder;
Johnny Cash and Johnny Rivers;
Can’t stop now - I’ve 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 soon; gotta swelter;
Leon Russel; Gimme Shelter;
Miracles in smokey places;
Slide guitars and Fender basses;
Mushroom omelet; Bonnie Bramlett;
Wilson Pickett;
Stomp it – kick it;
Life is a rock, but the radio-
Life is a rock, but the radio… Whoooo!
(Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!)
(Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!)

Arthur Janov; Primal Scream;
Hawkins, Jay and Dale and Ronnie;
Kookla, Fran, and Norman Okla;
Denver, John, and Osmond, Donnie;
JJ Cale and ZZ Top and LL Bean and DD Dinah;
David Bowie, Steely Dan, and Sing me proud;
Oh, CC Rider;
Edgar Winter; Joanie Summers;
Ides of March and Johnny Thunder;
Eric Clapton; pedal wah-wah; Steven Foster;
Do-da, do-da;
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!
Gotta turn it up louder, so my DJ told me! Whoa! 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 playin’ our song.
Rocket; socket; Alan Freed me;
Murray Kaufman tried to lead me;
Fish and swim and Boston monkey;
Make it bad and play it FUNKY!

Freddie King and Albert King and BB King and frolicking…
Get it on; **************** lordy; Yellin’ hearty!

There’s a perfect **********; words of Randy Newman;
One, two, three; so ********** please, I need a breather!

Tito Fuente; *********** Cuba ********;
*************************** brass!

Whoooo!
California; ******; Atlanta;
New York City; Transylvania;
*************************;
*************** and ***; oh, yea-a-a-a-ah, YEAH!
