Harry Chapin - W*O*L*D Lyrics
W*O*L*D by Harry Chapin Hello Honey, it's me What did you think when you heard me back on the radio? What did the kids say when they knew it was their long lost daddy-o? Remember how we listened to the radio And I said `That's the place for me' And how I got the job as an FM Jock the day you married me? We were two kids and I was was into AM rock But I just had to run around It's been eight years since I left you babe Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down CHORUS I am the morning DJ on W*O*L*D Playing all the hits for you wherever you may be The bright good-morning voice who's heard but never seen Feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen The drinking I did on my last big gig made my voice go low They said that they liked the younger sound when they let me go So I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma to do me a late night talk show Now I worked my way back home again, via Boise, Idhao That's how this business goes CHORUS I've been making extra money playing high school sock hops I'm a big time guest MC You should hear me talking to the little children And listen what they say to me Got a spot on the top of my head, begging for a new toupee And a tire on my gut from sitting on my But they're never gonna go away Sometimes I get this crazy dream That I just drive off in my car But you can travel on ten thousand miles and still say where you are I've been thinking that I should quit disk jockeying And start that record store Maybe I could settle down if you'ld take me back once more OK Honey, I see I guess he's better than me Sure, Old Girl, I understand You don't have to worry, I'm such a happy man W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L, W*O*L, W*O*L*D*D*D I am the morning DJ on K*H*J Playing all the hits for you Playing them night and day The bright good morning voice who's heard but never seen Feeling all of forty-five, going on fifteen I am the morning DJ on W*O*L*D
