Kodachrome / Mabellene - Live at Central Park, New York, NY - September 19, 1981
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!
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

If you took all the girls I knew when I was single

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!

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!
