Lyrics Harry Chapin – W.O.L.D.

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 to be»
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’d left you babe
Let me tell you ’bout what’s gone down

I am the mornin’ DJ on W O L D
Playin’ all the hits for you wherever you may be
The bright good-mornin’ voice who’s heard but never seen
Feelin’ all of forty-five goin’ on fifteen

The drinkin’ I did on my last big gig
You 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 down home again, via Boise, Idhao
That’s how this business goes

Well I am the mornin’ DJ on W O L D
Playin’ all the hits for you wherever you may be
The bright good-mornin’ voice who’s heard but never seen
If you keep on singing on alone like that
You’re gonna turn the little girls off

I’ve been making extra money to a high school sock hops

The spot on the top of my head
Just begging for a new toupee
And a tire on my gut from sittin’ on my
But it’s never gonna go away, stay children

Sometimes I get this crazy dream
That I just take off in my car
When you can travel on ten thousand miles
And still say where you are

I’ve been thinking that I should stop disk jockeying
And start that record store
Maybe I could settle down
If you’d 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 D
W O L D D D

I am the mornin’ DJ on W K T
Playin’ disco pushship and you know what you can do
The bright good mornin’ voice who’s heard but never seen
Feeling all of forty-five, goin’ on fifteen
How’s that?
I am the mornin’ DJ at W O L D
