And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray (Hey,
hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home Chorus
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids Coo,
coo, ca-choo Chorus
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Ev'ry way you look at it, you lose
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
Paul Simon, in an interview with Stephen Colbert, said that Frank Sinatra recorded it and sang "Ring a ding ding, Mrs Robinson..." and several other changes.
Simon hated it and tried to put a stop to the record. Warner Brothers called him up and begged him to let it go, because the exec was afraid to go to Sinatra and tell him and Simon relented.
Now Paul Simon says that he loves the song that way, it is the quinticential Rat Pack song.
