{Intro}
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
[Verse 2]
If you took all the girls I knew when I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they’d never match my sweet imagination
Everything looks worse in black and white
[Chorus]
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
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
[Post-Chorus]
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
[Refrain]
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
[Refrain 2]
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
[Refrain]
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Oh-oooh-oooh-oooh
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
{Outro}
Okay
