| | For posterity's sake I decided to post the lyrics to "Mrs Robinson" as Grafunkel intended (actually Simon, but it sounds better like that). The lyrics only changed from "Rosevelt" to "Robinson" when they were asked to write songs for the film "the Graduate".
"Mrs. Roosevelt"
And here's to you, Mrs. Roosevelt,
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Wo wo wo
God bless you, please, Mrs. Roosevelt,
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. Roosevelt,
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Wo wo wo
God bless you, please, Mrs. Roosevelt,
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 you pantry with your cupcakes.
It's a little secret,
Just the Roosevelt's affair.
Most of all, you've got to hide it
from the kids.
Coo coo ca-choo, Mrs. Roosevelt,
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Wo wo wo
God bless you, please, Mrs. Roosevelt,
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,
Every way you look at it you lose.
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you
Ooo ooo ooo.
What's that you say, Mrs. Roosevelt?
"Joltin' Joe has left and gone away"
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
