Lyrics
0:13When I think back
0:15On all the crap I learned in high school
0:22It's a wonder
0:23I can think at all
0:27And though my lack of education
0:30Hasn't hurt me none
0:35I can read the writing on the wall
0:40Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors
0:46Give us the greens of summers
0:50Makes you think all the world's
0:53A sunny day oh yeah
0:57I got a Nikon camera
1:00I love to take a photograph
1:03So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
1:14If you took all the girls I knew
1:17When I was single
1:23Brought them all together for one night
1:28I know they'd never match
1:30My sweet imagination
1:37Everything looks worse in black and white
1:41Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors
1:47Give us the greens of summers
1:51Makes you think all the world's
1:54A sunny day I get
1:58I got a Nikon camera
2:01I love to take a photograph
2:04So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
2:16Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
2:23Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
2:30Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
2:38Mama don't take my Kodachrome
2:39Mama don't take my Kodachrome
2:41Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
2:45Mama don't take my Kodachrome
2:48Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
2:52Mama don't take my Kodachrome
2:55Mama 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 And though my lack of education Hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors 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 If you took all the girls I knew When I was single Brought them all together for one night I know they'd never match My sweet imagination Everything looks worse in black and white Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors Give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's A sunny day I get I got a Nikon camera I 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 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 Mama don't take my Kodachrome away Mama don't take my Kodachrome Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
