Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa
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
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey

Every way you look at this, you lose
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
Our 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
The song "Mrs. Robinson" is a track by Simon & Garfunkel that was included on their album "Bookends" in 1968. The song served as a part of the soundtrack for the movie "The Graduate". The song is about a particular Mrs. Robinson who is a lonely housewife, and the lyrics comprise both questioning and adoring her. Paul Simon wrote the song, and it pays tribute to a dissolute and unfaithful woman, Mrs. Robinson.
The opening lines of the song show the admiration of Jesus for Mrs. Robinson, as she is being introduced as someone who is worth of that love. Heaven also has a place reserved for those who pray, and it is clear that the song wants to pay tribute to her. The lyrics then go on to try to get to know the lady better, and she is encouraged to learn how to help herself. The song has distinct rhyming patterns and a catchy chorus that emphasizes the message of the song.

Had a teacher in primary school called Mrs Robinson. The whole school (only about 100 kids) got together and sung this to her on her 50th birthday. I'll never forget that day.
