"Mrs. Robinson" is a song written by Paul Simon and first performed by Simon & Garfunkel. When released as a single in 1968, it hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US, for their second chart-topping hit after "The Sound of Silence". An early version of the song appeared in the motion picture The Graduate (1967) and its subsequent soundtrack, while the complete song debuted on their album Bookends (1968). The song earned the duo a Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1969.
In the film The Graduate, listless recent college graduate Benjamin Braddock has an affair with an older married woman, Mrs. Robinson. The song as it appears in the film is different from the familiar hit single version, as only the chorus of the song appears late in the film and with slightly different lyrics: "Stand up tall, Mrs. Robinson, God in heaven smiles on those who pray." It was only later on that Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel re-recorded the song by employing additional lyrics to form the hit single.

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,
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. Robinson?
\"Joltin' Joe has left and gone away\"
