Mrs Robinson - Simon and Grafunkel
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
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)
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, 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)
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)
here愀 the lyrics. What they mean ?
Well I don愒 know. It愀 a beautiful song
and to me it愀 a kind of happy statement.
"heavens holds a place for those who pray"
It makes me happy and that愀 enough for me.
peace, Gunnar

It is a song from the movie "The Graduate". Dustin Hoffman
has an affair with a woman by the name of Mrs RObinson. I have
assumed that the lyrics have to do with this aspect of the
movie.

Nope, the Beatles were on the verge of breakup at this time, and were almost
quaint by 1968, five years after coming to the USA. Don't misunderstand, I
liked them too.

>>It is a song from the movie "The Graduate". Dustin Hoffman

He loves the daughter, but is seduced by the mother. Other family pressures
surrounding his education and future plans create a bit of an indentity crisis
for him. His life has already been layed out for him and he has never asserted
his own autonomy.
VH1 showed an early seventies Dick Cavett with Paul Simon, in which Simon told
how he wrote the song freom previously existing fragments and incidental music
jams during performing the soundtrack for the Graduate.
The second mention of Mrs. Robinson in the lyric as it originally existed
referred to her as Mrs. Roosevelt. Apparently the song was originating from
sociopolitical icons of Simons youth (presidents relatives and relatives of
Baseball players). A few changes and additions later and it was more closely
tying in to the films storyline.

Here are the lyrics of this nice song
I wonder this song was from a movie (it's french title was "Le Laureat"
- I don't know it's original name, may be "The Laureate" ?).
I think that song is a pamphlet against the "right-thinking" christian
society... At this time, a new music group is coming up : the Beatles,
they were some ugly boys with their too long hair, their satanic music
and so on... A long long way from the lovely Beach Boys (even their
music were noisy !)
Have a very nice week, Jeanie

**************************************
Hi Folks!--Great Song!!--"Nice?~?~"--"Nicely Scathing!!)
The 1rst verse(to ME!!-now,-before you run to grab the damn
axe!!..OK..??!!)--Anyway,it
appears to me,to be "Pointing" at being "Institutionalized"--"A MENTAL
ASYLUM"..
The verse would "Echo"--"precisely what the psychciatrist-you were just
introduced to-
would say to you upon your arrival to the "Mental
Institution"i.e.--(psych ward)
> > 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
The 2nd verse(to ME!!-Again!!)--is unmistakably making referance to
one/OR/..all of the
following--i.e."Alchohol--(booze/hootch)//or-"Pharmacuetical
Drugs!!"-//-or any other
Mind/Emotion Altering substance that "Mrs. Robinson's Everywhere use
as"- like the
Rolling Stones said when they penned the classic-"Mothers' little
Helper...."
> 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
In addition to the "Direct Point At"-i.e."Hiding it in the Pantry"
and"little Secret" and
"Hiding it from the kids"--implies that "the Substance" is also to be
hidden from
"The Police" AND "Society in General.!!.."
This "HYPOCRITICAL LIFESTYLE"-(I granted you)-of people in the "The
Religeous Right"--But
more than that!!-- "HYPOCRITICAL LIFESTYLE's of
MOTHERS--EVERYWHERE.!!.."
No Escaping though--"Not a Pamphlet--Rather--"an Endictment of America's
Political Absurdity"
(Paul Simon is a Heavy dude.....And this brings us to the "Two Pauls"
part--as I have named it..)
That's right!!--I,The One & Only-"DEFI"--have come to my personal
conclusion as follows:
That the Very Next "Lead-In"to the *wellknown Chorus*-i.e.-" Coo, coo,
ca-choo,--"Is the single
most "Obvious Allusion" to the Beatles Song-"I AM THE
WALRUS"--Now!!..Let me point-out that
the legend goes that-"during the well known *Morbid Publicity
Stunt*i.e.-'was Paul dead.??.'-
-"That if you played the song"I AM THE WALRUS"--"Backwards!!"...."That
you would hear
John or Someone--saying--"PAUL IS DEAD!!!.............."
Aside from/OR INCLUDING!!-- the "Psychodelic Drug Inferrances"--"DEFI
can see
a "Robust Sense of Humor" in the "Inclusion" of this line-i.e.-" Coo,
coo, ca-choo,--as if
Paul Simon is also Toying with the Question of whether"The Beatles" were
referring to him/Paul
"Implying that he was LYRICALLY DEAD.."........ . . . . .
> > Coo, coo, ca-choo, 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)
The last verse is "a Wide Open View" of all the elements culminating to
push to end of the song.
But!!-It is (to DEFI-pehaps you also) -most notible for being the verse
which probably is the first
"protest song" that along with the condemnation of "
---------------------------"a Plastic Society with Two-Faced Plastic
Citizens"--it addresses
directly the subject of "Voter Apathy" and the way(if u will) the
"Encumbents-
-Have Us By the Balls"
> > 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
The Last verse in this "Rightly Fabled" song--"Speaks to the Betrayal of
the American Dream"
"....The America that Should be.......that our Working Class
Fathers-Fought-Died-and Have Given
their Blood to Pass on to their Children(that would be "ALL" of us-not
just Joe Kennedy's Kids)
> > 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)
Anyway--I thought you folks were homing-in pretty good on this songs
lyrics & meaning
and wanted to add "some input"..OK.??... . .
H.T.G.,

"BTW--The Song was actually 1rst heard/"seen"--in the Academy Award
Winning Film
"The Graduate" starring Dustin Hoffman(his Lead Role Debut)--and you may
have to dig a little
to verify--but I think I read somewhere once that Paul Simon
actually-"Penned-It for the Film"..

grap...@aol.com (GrapeApe)
WROTE as FOLLOWS:
*********************
Congratulations!! To "Grape Ape" for *confirming my* assertion that Paul
Simon actually
"Penned" the tune for "The Graduate".
However!!-though Simon mentions> "> how he wrote the song freom
previously existing fragments and incidental music jams during
performing the soundtrack for the Graduate.."
NoWhere--does he say that there is any "Lyrical Attachment" to the film
beyond the
"lightest of tie-in's" pertaining to the Charactor-"Mrs.
Robinson".....Although,as you have
"hit another nail squarely on the head"--the *Political Undertow*of the
song resonates from
the very beginning-to-the very end of the film.!!..
I have also heard the "Elenor Roosevelt Tidbit" and this fits everything
in "a Parralax"..
But the Analogy in the song to "Joe Dimaggio--AKA'Joltin' Joe"--is
simply that-"Here was
an 'Icon-Example' of the so-called "Proof of the Truth of the American
Dream"..That Dimaggio
personified the single greatest representative of "a working class
American" that is "Free" to
rise-up from his humble beginnings to become a "Star Pro-Baseball
Player" that sacrificed
his own safety "for His belief in God & Country"-by Voluteering &
Fighting in the 2nd World War,
Only to return "Victorious"--and then go on to re-capture his fame &
glory in Pro-Baseball and
--on top of that!!!--Wine,Dine,make(Yes!!-pun intended)--make like a
"GrapeApe-Vine" with
the "Greatest Sex Symbol in the History of
Mankind"-------"Marilyn..(must I add)..Monroe..!!!.."
The "American Dream Come True"--complete with "Wedding Bells &
Motorcycle Police Whistles"..
Except,...for the rest of "US"..........
And So....Though there is really no "Connection" of the song "Mrs.
Robinson" to
the Film "The Graduate"----There is a connection "in Message"...Which is
"More Important"..
Coo-Coo-.....Ca-Choo!!!,
DEFI
