Kodachrome/maybellene Lyrics - Concert In Central Park - Simon And Garfunkel

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, 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 

And brought them all together for one night 

I know they'd never match my sweet imagination 

Everything looks better 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, oh yeah 

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 

Leave your boy so far from home 

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away 

Photos 

Mama don't take my Kodachrome 

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away 

Maybellene, why can't you be true? 

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? 

You've started back doing those things you used to do 

As I was motorvatin' over the hill 

I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville 

A Cadillac rollin' on the open road 

But nothing will outrace my V8 Ford 

The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five 

Bumper to bumper and side by side 

Maybellene, why can't you be true? 

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? 

You've started back doing those things you used to do 

The heat cooled down, the motor cooled down 

That's when I heard that highway sound 

The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead 

Hundred and ten half a mile ahead 

The Cadillac lookin' like it's standin' still 

And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill 

Maybellene, why can't you be true? 

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? 

You've started back doing those things you used to do 

Maybellene, why can't you be true? 

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? 

You've started back doing those things you used to do
