Kodachrome Lyrics - Paul Simon

{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

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 'em all together for one night

I know they’d never match my sweet imagination

And 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

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

Oh-oooh-oooh-oooh

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

{Outro}

Okay
