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 You give us those nice bright colors You 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 And everything looks worse in black and white Kodachrome You give us those nice bright colors You 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 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)

“Kodachrome” foi lançada como o single principal do terceiro álbum de estúdio de Paul Simon, *There Goes Rhymin' Simon*, em 1973.
A faixa foi publicada pela Columbia Records, a mesma gravadora que lançou o álbum inteiro.
O título da música faz referência direta ao filme reversível da Kodak, chamado Kodachrome, que já foi descontinuado.
Apesar de ser uma canção de um artista americano, o nome do filme Kodak tornou‑se reconhecível mundialmente, inclusive no Brasil, onde o filme era bastante utilizado em fotografia amadora.
