Harry Chapin - W.O.L.D. video free download
"Hello honey it's me...
What did you think when you heard me back on the radio... ?
And 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 that job as an FM jock
The day you married me.
It was 2 kids, and I was into AM rock
But I just had to run around
It's been 8 years since I left you babe
Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down...
I am the morning DJ... At W.O.L.D.
Playin' all the hits for you... Wherever you may be.
The bright good morning voice... Who is heard, but never seen!
Feelin' all of 45.... Goin' on 15.
The drinkin' I did on my last big gig...
It made my voice go low
They said that they like 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. !
Playin' all the hits for you
Wherever you may be
The bright good morning voice... Who is heard but never seen.
Feelin' all of 45..... Goin' on 15.
I BEEN MAKIN' EXTRA MONEY DOIN' HIGH SCHOOL SOCK HOPS
I'M A BIG-TIME GUEST EMCEE...
YOU SHOULD HEAR ME TALKIN' TO THE LITTLE CHILDREN
AND LISTEN WHAT THEY'RE SAYIN' TO ME!
I 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
And I just take off in my car
But you can travel on ten thousand miles
And still stay where you are
I been thinkin' that maybe I should stop this jockeying
And start that record store.
Maybe I could even settle down....
.... if you'd take me back once more.
...okay honey I see.
I guess he's better than me...
Sure girl, I understand.
You don't have to worry, I'm such a happy man.
wold WOLD wold WOLD wold WOL
WOL WOL..
WOLD D D
I am the morning DJ..
At KLBJ !
Playin' all the hits for you
Playin' 'em night and day!
The bright good morning voice
Who is heard but never seen...
Oh! Feeling all of 45....
.... Going on 16."

The Wife told me not to sing out loud (it's almost 11:00pm Down Under) but Jeez it's hard. This is one of Harry's greatest and it's awful hard not to sing along. For all you die hards (like me) please enjoy ... and yeah, I'm singing out loud and I can hear her coming down the hallway to get me .. I'm toast, but I'm going out in style ...9 years ago

"Sometimes I get this crazy dream, that I just take off in my car. But you can travel on 10,000 miles, and still stay where you are."For some reason it just feels like a Harry day today.Harry Chapin - W.O.L.D.10 years ago

Harry introduced me to the Dance Band on the Titanic and finally thing I learned so much about the disaster and recently discovered I am related to the survivor of the disaster. His music was always played at my brothers house and I loved it way back when. TY Harry for the music no matter how many years I woke up this morning and just needed to hear you this morning.11 years ago

The last time he sings the chorus, he sings;"I am the morning DJ at KHJ". KHJ was a popular top 40 AM station in the LA area during the 60's and 70's. I lived there at that time. He must have been performing in this area. Harry used to do free concerts at parks here on Long Island and actually died on the way to one. I wish I would have seen him back then. I did see his brother Tom open up for Cliff Richards in NYC back in the '80s. Harry was one of the greatest singer- songwriters.11 years ago
