Kodachrome Lyrics - The Essential Paul Simon - Paul Simon

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 

They 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 

So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

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 

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 

I got a Nikon camera 

I love to take a photograph 

So mama don't take my Kodachrome away 

Photos 

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 away 

mama don't take my Kodachrome away
