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*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
