[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 you 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]
Kodachromе
They give us those nicе 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 you take my Kodachrome away
[Outro Refrain]
Mama don’t you take my Kodachrome away
Don’t you take my Kodachrome away
Don’t you take my Kodachrome away
Don’t you take my Kodachrome away
