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.

"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 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 on 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 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 back home again, via Boise, Idhao
That's how this business goes
CHORUS
I've been making extra money playing 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, 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 drive 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 quit disk jockeying
And start that record store
Maybe I could settle down if you'ld 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
I am the morning DJ on K*A*H*J
Playing all the hits for you Playing them night and day
The bright good morning voice who's heard but never seen
Feeling all of forty-five, going on fifteen
I am the morning DJ on W*O*L*D

All I can remember is "D-D-D-D."
