"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 man could tell a story with song, no doubt about it. Lost him way too soon but he left his mark. Not many of us will be able to say the same. :o)

I'm not a HUGE fan of his, but I have always loved this tune!

I heard this song for the first time before I was married in 1973. I have done a lot of things since then -- among which has been being a "morning drive-time" host (with afternoon and evening repeats because the show was quite popular) on a local radio station and divorced (her choice, and she is still alive) -- and I can no longer listen to this song without shedding a few tears.May God rest your sweet soul, Mr. Chapin.

This Man Didnt Just talk about The Walk About Ending World Hunger , he Walked The Walk, his entire Life Was Dedicated To Those Who Did Not Have Enough Food To Eat, he Was No Phoney, he Was The Real Deal.

Thankfully, this is not the story of my 39 year radio career. But I have met and worked with many who fit this description. I love this business!
