Harry Chapin lyrics : "Wold"
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 at 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
it 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, Idaho
That's how this business goes
(chorus)
I've been making extra money
doing 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
just 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 take 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 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, W-O-L, W-O-L-D-D-D
(chorus)
I am the morning DJ at W-O-L-D...
