When I think back on all the crap I've learned in highschool

It's a wonder I can think at all

Though my lack of education hasn't hurt me much

I can read the writings on the walls



Chorus:

Kodachrome, they give us those nice bright colours

They give us the greens of summers

Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah

I got a Nicon camera, I love to take a photograph

So mama don't take my Kodachrome away



If you took all the girls I knew when I was single

Brought 'em all together for one night

I know they'd never match my sweet imagination

Everything looks better in black and white



chorus



Mama don't take my Kodachrome away, mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away



Mama don't take my Kodachrome, mama don't take my Kodachrome

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome and leave your boy so far from home

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome, whew whew, mama don't take my Kodachrome away
