Lyrics Harry Chapin

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

I'm a big time guest MC

You should hear me talking to the little children

And listen what they say to me

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
