Simon & Garfunkel - Kodachrome / Maybellene lyrics

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 them all together for one night I know they'd never match my sweet imagination Everything looks better 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 Mama don't take my Kodachrome away Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing those things you used to do As I was motorvatin' over the hill I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville A Cadillac rollin' on the open road But nothing will outrace my V8 Ford The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five Bumper to bumper and side by side Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing those things you used to do The heat cooled down, the motor cooled down That's when I heard that highway sound The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead Hundred and ten half a mile ahead The Cadillac lookin' like it's standin' still And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing those things you used to do Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing those things you used to do
