WOLD
Words and Music 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'd listen to the radio
And I said that's the place to be
And how I got a job as an FM jock
The day you married me
It was two kids, and I was into AM rock
But I just had to run around
It's been eight years since you left me babe,
Let me tell ya 'bout what's gone down.

	I am the morning DJ
	At W-O-L-D
	D-D-D-D-D-D-D!
	Playin' all the hits for you
	Wherever you may be.
	The bright Good Morning voice
	That's heard but never seen,
	Feelin' all of forty five
	Goin' on fifteen.

The drinking I did on my last big gig
It made my voice go low
They said that they liked the young sound
When they let me go
So I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma
to do me a late night talk show
Now I've worked my way down home again
Here to Boise, Idaho,
That's how this business goes.

	I am the morning DJ
	At W-O-L-D
	D-D-D-D-D-D-D!
	Playin' all the hits for you
	Wherever you may be.
	The bright Good Morning voice
	That's heard but never seen,
	Feelin' all of forty five
	Goin' on fifteen.

		I've been makin extra money
		doing high school sock hops
		I'm the big time guest emcee
		You should hear me
		Talkin' to the little children
		And listen what they say to me
		Got a spot on the top of my head
		Just beggin for a new toupee
		And a tire 'round my gut
		From sittin' on my...
		But it's never gonna go away.

Sometimes I get this crazy dream
Where I just take off in my car
But you can travel on ten thousand miles
and still stay where you are
I've been thinkin' 
maybe I should stop this jockeying
and start that record store
Maybe I could settle down
If you'd take me back once more...

Okay, honey I see
I'm sure 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-D!


	I am the morning DJ
	At W-O-L-D
	D-D-D-D-D-D-D!
	Playin' all the hits for you
	Wherever you may be.
	The bright Good Morning voice
	That's heard but never seen,
	Feelin' all of forty five
	Goin' on fifteen.
