When I think back on all the [bad word] 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
 [bad word] 
Kodachrome give us those nice bright colors 
give us the greens of summers
makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera 
I love to take the photographs
so momma don't take my kodachrome away

VERSE 2
If you took all the girls I knew when I was single
and brought em all together for one night
I know they never match my sweet imagination
and everything looks worse in black and white
 [bad word] 
Kodachrome give us those nice bright colors 
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 the photographs
so momma 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

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
