WOLD Lyrics 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 longlost daddyo

    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
    it was two kids and i 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

    i am the morning dj at woldddddd
    playing all the hits for you
    wherever you may be
    the bright good morning voice
    who’s heard but never seen
    feeling all of 45 going on 5

    the drinking i did on my last big gig
    it made my voice go low
    they said that they like the young sounds sounds sounds sounds
    when they let me go

    so i drifted on down to tulsa oklahoma
    to do me a latenight 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 woldddddd
    playing all the hits for you
    wherever you may be
    the bright good morning voice
    who’s heard but never seen
    feeling all of 45 going on 5

    i’m making extra money doing high school sock hops
    i’m the bigtime guest mc
    you should hear me talking to the little children
    and listen to what they say to me

    i got a spot on the top of my head
    just begging for a new toupee
    there’s a tire around my gut from sitting on my
    but it’s never gonna go away

    sometimes i get this crazy dream
    that i just take off in my car
    but you can travel on 0000 miles
    and still stay where you are

    thinkin’ that i should stop disc jockin’
    and start that record store
    maybe i could settle down
    if you’d take me back once more

    okay 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

    wold
    wold
    wold
    wold

    i am the morning dj at woldddddd
    playing all the hits for you
    wherever you may be
    the bright good morning voice
    who’s heard but never seen
    feeling all of 45 going on 5

    i am the morning dj at woldddddd
    woldddddd
    woldddddd
    woldddddd
    woldddddd
    woldddddd
