[Verse 1]
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 to be"?
And how I got the job as an FM jock
The day you married me?
It was two kids and I 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 at WOLD-D-D-D-D-D-D-D (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-give going on fifteen

[Verse 2]
The drinking I did on my last big gig
It made my voice go low
They said that they like the young sounds
(Sounds, sounds, sounds)
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
[Chorus]
I am the morning DJ at WOLD-D-D-D-D-D-D-D (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

[Bridge]
I'm making extra money doing high school sock hops
I'm the big-time guest emcee
You should hear me talking to the little children
And listen what they say to me
I got a spot on the top of my head
Just begging for a new toupee
There's a tire around my gut from sitting on my—
But it's never gonna go away

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I get this crazy dream
That I just take off in my car
But you can travel on ten thousand miles
And still stay where you are
Thinking that I should stop disc jocking
And start that record store
Maybe I could settle down
If you'd take me back once more
[Verse 4]
Okay, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
(WOLD)
(WOLD)
(WOL)
(WOLD)

[Chorus]
I am the morning DJ at WOLD-D-D-D-D-D-D-D (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

[Outro]
I am the morning DJ at WOLD-D-D-D-D-D-D-D (O.L.D.)
WOLD (O.L.D.) D-D-D-D-D-D-D (O.L.D.)
