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 
And 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, Oh yeah 
I got a Nikon camera 
I love to take a photograph 
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
