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 give us those nice bright colors
It give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the boys I knew
When I was single
Got 'em all together for one night
You know they'd never match
My sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white

Kodachrome
It give us those nice bright colors
It give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all

Kodachrome
It give us those nice bright colors
It give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
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 away
