  Observations at 37 GHz, performed at Mets\"ahovi Radio Observatory, are
presented for a sample of 78 radio-loud and radio-quiet narrow-line Seyfert 1
(NLS1) galaxies, together with additional lower and higher frequency radio data
from RATAN-600, Owens Valley Radio Observatory, and the Planck satellite. Most
of the data have been gathered between February 2012 and April 2015 but for
some sources even longer lightcurves exist. The detection rate at 37 GHz is
around 19%, comparable to other populations of active galactic nuclei presumed
to be faint at radio frequencies, such as BL Lac objects. Variability and
spectral indices are determined for sources with enough detections. Based on
the radio data, many NLS1 galaxies show a blazar-like radio spectra exhibiting
significant variability. The spectra at a given time are often inverted or
convex. The source of the high-frequency radio emission in NLS1 galaxies,
detected at 37 GHz, is most probably a relativistic jet rather than star
formation. Jets in NLS1 galaxies are therefore expected to be a much more
common phenomenon than earlier assumed.
