Kodachrome Lyrics By Paul Simon

    when i think back on all the crap i learned in high school
    its a wonder i can think at all
    and though my lack of education hasnt hurt me none
    i can read the writing on the wall

    kodachrome
    they give us those nice bright colors
    they give us the greens of summers
    makes you think all the worlds a sunny day oh yeah
    i got a nikon camera
    i love to take a photograph
    so mama dont take my kodachrome away

    if you took all the girls i knew when i was single
    and brought them all together for one night
    i know theyd 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 worlds a sunny day oh yeah
    i got a nikon camera
    i love to take a photograph
    so mama dont take my kodachrome away

    refrain
    mama dont take my kodachrome away
    mama dont take my kodachrome away
    mama dont take my kodachrome away

    mama dont take my kodachrome
    mama dont take my kodachrome
    mama dont take my kodachrome away

    mama dont take my kodachrome
    leave your boy so far from home
    mama dont take my kodachrome away

    mama dont take my kodachrome
    ohooohooohoooh
    mama dont take my kodachrome away
