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 your 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, oh yeah...

Mama don't take my kodachrome away.
