Not odd, but an homage.

Are you sure? I thought that Mrs. Robinson came out in 1967 (The
Graduate did at any rate) and possibly before Walrus (which was
December, right?).
Plus, to pick a nit, it's Goo Goo Ga Joob in Walrus and Koo Koo Ka Choo
in Mrs. R.

"I Am The Walrus" was recorded in September 1967 and released on November
27, 1967. "The Graduate" (which included an early version of "Mrs.
Robinson", not the later hit recording) was released on December 21,
1967.
Simon & Garfunkel's hit "Mrs. Robinson" charted in May 1968.

Correct, that's how Simon heard it. There was originally some uncertainty
about transcribing this part of the "Walrus" lyric, as I recall. The
Firesign Theatre heard it as Simon did and included the phrase in their
live radio broadcast of "The Giant Rat of Sumatra" in early 1968, but the
reference there was clearly to the Beatles' song.

A distinction I've had to point out to people *many* times. You'd be
amazed how many think the line in 'Walrus' was 'koo koo kachoo'.
That's like those Rocky Horror people. They debate over how the word
"Schmanet" is properly spelled for goodness sakes!!

The Firesign Theater also had numerous Beatles references in their How
Can You Be Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All album
including Lennon's photo on the front (along with Groucho Marx). I
seem to remember a character on the Nick Danger, Third Eye side of the
LP tossing in a "Koo Koo Kachoo" along with "everyone knew her as
Nancy" and "I'm so tired".

....aaaaaaaand, let the record show that the 1967 version of "Mrs. Robinson" did NOT have the "[g/k]oo [g/k]oo [goo/ka] [j/ch]oo[b]" line in it. In fact, here are ALL the lyrics to that version: [note the lack of verses]:
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
Stand up tall, Mrs. Robinson.
God in Heaven smiles on those who pray, hey hey hey, hey hey hey.
