Capo II *

       \ 

             
When I think b

ack 
            
on all the cra

              
p I learned in

 
 high school 

 It's a wonder

 
            
I can think at

    
 all 
              
And though my 

          
lack of educat

ion 
       
hasn't hurt me

 none
            
 I can read th

             
e writing on t

      
he wall 

      
Kodachrome 
            
You give us th

            
ose nice brigh

  
t colors 
              
You give us th

           
e greens of su

mmers 
             
Makes you thin

             
k all the worl

             
d's a sunny da

    
y, oh yeah! 
          
I got a Nikon 


camera 
              
I love to take

       
 a photograph 
              
So Mama, don't

            
 take my Kodac

                  
hrome away 

             
If you took al

              
l the girls I 


knew
           
when I was sin

gle 
            
And brought th

            
em all togethe

             
r for one nigh

  
t 
              
I know they'd 


never match 
            
my sweet imagi


nation 
            
 And everythin

             
g looks worse 

           
in black and w
