Lyrics

When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school It's a wonder I can think at all Well my lack of education hasn't hurt me much I can read the writing on the wall Kodachro-o-ome! Give us those nice, bright colors Give us the greens of summer Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to take the photographs 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 better in black and white Kodachro-o-ome! Give us those nice, bright colours Give us the greens of summer 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, and leave your boy so far from home, Mama don't take my kodachrome away Mama don't take my kodachrome, woo woo, Mama don't take my kodachrome away! Oh, Mabellene! Why can't you be true? Woah, Mabellene Why can't you be true? You've started back doin' those things you used to do As I was motivatin' on over the hill, I saw Mabellene in a Coupe de Ville A cadillac rollin' on the open road Yeah but nothin' will outrace my V8 Ford The Cadillac doin' about 95, she's bumper to bumper, rollin' side to side Mabellene! Why can't you be true? Woah, Mabellene! Yeah, you've started back doin' those things you used to do The heat cools down and the motor cools down, and that's when I heard that highway sound The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten half a mile ahead The Cadillac a lookin' like it's sittin' still And I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill Mabellene! Why can't you be true? Woah, Mabellene! Why can't you be true? You've started back doin' those things you used to do Woah, Mabellene! Can't you be true? Woah, Mabellene! Why can't you be true? You've started back doin' those things you used to do, yeah You've started back doin' those things you used to do You've started back doin' those things you used to do!
