Here it is!
From memory! (Cap and punc may be eratic and a lot of the lyrics are
song titles and should be quoted)
I used to practice this at just about double speed (45 on 78).
(I won a contest by doing this.)

[take a deep breath]

B.B. Bumble and the Stingers.
Mott the Hoople, Ray Charles singers.
Lonnie Mack and Twanging Eddie.
Here's my ring. We're going steady.
Take it easy. Take me higher.
Liar, Liar. House of Fire.
Locomotion. Poco Passion.
Deeper Purple, Satisfaction.
Baby, Baby, Gotta, Gotta,
Gimme, Gimme, geting hotter.
Sammy's Cooking, Leslie's gory
Richy Valens, End of story.
Maha Vishnu, Fujiama.
Kama Sutra, Rama Lama.
Richard Perry, Spector, Barry.
Richeous. Archies. Neilson, Harry.
Shimmy, Shimmy, Coacoa-pops
Fats is back and fingers popping.

[Chorus]
Life is a rock,
But the Radio Rolled me.
Got to turn it up louder,
So my DJ told me.
Ooh, Ooh, [Last verse "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"]
Life is a rock,
But the Radio Rolled me.
At the end of my rainbow [Last verse "Rai-ain-bow-oh-oh"]
Lies a golden Oldie.

FM, AM. Hits are clicking.
While the clock is tocking ticking.
Friends and Romans, Salutations.
Brenda and the Tabulations.
Carly Simon, I behold her.
Rolling Stone and Centerfolder.
Johnny Cash and Johnny Rivers.
Can't Stop now. I've got the shivvers.
Mungo Jerry. Peter, Peter.
Paul, Paul and Mary Mary.
Doctor John, The Nightly Tripper.
Doris Day and Jack the Ripper.
Got to go, Sir. Got to Swealter.
Leon Russel, Give me Shelter.
Miricles in Smokey places.
Slide guitars and Fender basses.
Mushroom Omlette. Bonny Bromlett.
Wilson Picket. Stop and Kick it.

[Chorus]

Arthur Janoff, Primal Screaming,
Hawkins, J. and Dale and Ronnie.
Kukla, Fran, and Norman Okla.
Denver, John and Osmond, Donny
JJ Cale and ZZ Top and,
LL Beanie, DD Dianne
David Bowie, Steely Dan,
Oh, Sing me Proud. Oh, See See Rider.
Edgar Winter, Jonny Summers,
Ides of March and Jonny Thunder.
Eric Clapton, Pedal, Wah-Wah.
Stephen Foster, Doo-Da! Doo-Da!
Good Vibrations, Help me Rhonda.
Surfer Girl and Little Honda.
Tighter, Tigher. Honey, Honey.
Sugar, Sugar. Yummie, Yummie.
CBS and Warner Brothers,
RCA and all the others.

[Chorus]

(ooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-hooh)
Listen. They're playing our song.

Rocket Socket, Alan Freedman
Muray Kaufmann tried to lead me.
Fish are swimming. Boston, Monkeys.
Make it bad and play it funky.

(Come and take me higher)

The artist was a group called "Reunion", but I do not have the lyrics.
