The Ektachrome Song

[Sirius Glass]

Ektachrome

Paul Simon
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
Ektachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Ektachrome 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 worse in black and white
Ektachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama…
Mama don't take my Ektachrome away
Mama don't take my Ektachrome away
Mama don't take my Ektachrome away
Mama don't take my Ektachrome
Mama don't take my Ektachrome
Mama don't take my Ektachrome away
Mama don't take my Ektachrome
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don't take my Ektachrome away
Mama don't take my Ektachrome
Mama don't take my Ektachrome away

I'm betting that this song will have better color and sell more copies but, over the long term, it may very well fade to red.

It sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't recall Paul Simon singing it...

Maybe it was on the "C" side of the album.

 

[E. von Hoegh]

We don't have Ektachrome. How can they take it away??

 

[Sirius Glass]

We don't have Ektachrome. How can they take it away??

It was back in the day. In the days when words were dirty and the air was clean.
