Kodachrome® Songtext
von 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, 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 'em 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

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

Mama don′t take my Kodachrome, mm-mmm
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away (okay)
