Lyrics
When I think back on all the crap I've 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, give us those nice bright colors
Give us those greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
Well I've got a Nikon camera
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 them all together for one night
I know they never matched my sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white
Kodachrome, give us those nice bright colors
Give us those greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
So I've got a Nikon camera
Love to take a photograph
So 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
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
