Kodachrome

When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school
It’s a wonder that I can think at all
And though my lack of education hasn’t hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
Give us those nice bright colors
Give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
But mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew when I was single
And got them all together for one night
I know they’d never match my sweet imagination
Everything looks worse in black and white

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
But mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

(Oh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh)
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
(Oh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh)
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
(Oh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh)
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
(Oh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh)
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
(Oh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh)
Leave this boy so far from home
(Oh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh)
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome (ooooh eee oooh)
Oh-oooh-oooh-oooh
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Oh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Oh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
