KODACHROME

Paul Simon

Transcribed by Randy Goldberg



When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school

It's a wonder 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, it gives us those nice bright colors

Gives 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

So momma, don't take my Kodachrome away



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

And brought 'em all together for one night

I know they'd never match my sweet imagination

And everything looks worse in black and white



Kodachrome, it gives us those nice bright colors

Gives 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

So momma, don't take my Kodachrome away

Momma, don't take my Kodachrome away

Momma, don't take my Kodachrome away

Momma, don't take my Kodachrome away



Momma, don't take my Kodachrome

Momma, don't take my Kodachrome

Momma, don't take my Kodachrome away



Momma, don't take my Kodachrome

And leave your boy so far from home

Momma, don't take my Kodachrome away



Momma, don't take my Kodachrome

Mmmmmm

Momma, don't take my Kodachrome away (Okay)
