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 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 a photograph
so mama don’t take my kodachrome away
