W*O*L*D* (LP Version)
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
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'
