W*o*l*d* (edited Live Version) Lyrics - 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 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 

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 

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*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
