Wold by Harry Chapin
Wold lyrics
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 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...
