Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
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
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 Robinson's 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
Whoa, whoa, whoa
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

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?

Woo, woo, woo

Overall Meaning

The song "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon & Garfunkel was written for the movie "The Graduate" and tells the story of an older woman who seduces a younger man. The lyrics begin with a sarcastic salute to Mrs. Robinson, and the line "Jesus loves you more than you will know" is meant to highlight her hypocrisy as a devout Christian who is leading a double life. The chorus then gives a blessing to Mrs. Robinson, while also implying that Heaven may be the only place that will accept her if her secret affairs were ever exposed.

The next verse is almost like an interview, with an insincere questions about Mrs. Robinson's interests and activities. The young man is only interested in learning more about her in order to have an affair with her. The lyrics suggest that Mrs. Robinson is lonely and looking for attention, as evidenced by the description of “sympathetic eyes” surrounding her.

The final verse contains cultural references, including a depiction of a lazy Sunday afternoon and a reference to Joe DiMaggio. The line “Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you” implies that the nation is searching for a hero, but there are none to be found. The song ends with the realization that in the end, there are no heroes or role models, and that the young man will continue to pursue Mrs. Robinson despite the consequences.

When this song was at its height, my sister was 19 years old, dying from cancer. I was 17, and left school to spend a dreary winter with her in a Chicago hospital where they were doing experimental chemo. Late night, we'd order a pizza to be delivered to the ER in the basement, because nobody was allowed on the 8th floor cancer ward that late. We'd ride the elevator down and back, harmonizing this song together. She died too soon after that. I'm in my 70s now, but when I hear this song, I'm 17, in an elevator with great acoustics, holding a pizza, and singing my heart out with my best friend.

I loved this song growing up in my life. I had a neighbour called Mrs Robinson. She had got over such Hardship in her life. Death of husband, being burgled, brought all her four kids up. And was chatty and alive. But, as it happens to all of us she died but at 94. I used to bake buns for her and take her a newspaper and buns or chocolate most weeks. Now the house is empty and on the market. Each time I go shopping I see the rack with newspapers in, see the treats I would have bought her so I cant put her out of my mind. I am in awe of her strength and her long life. Rest in peace you lovely old Lady. X x

I think he is saying it is special not because it was part of some major life moment, but rather because it was a constant part of a time in his life. Not an exciting time, but rather just there and part of it.

I feel that way about a lot of 80s songs that played non-stop on the radio when I was a kid, and when hearing them, make me reminisce about that time period generically. Like the soundtrack to a film set in the 80s.

My late Father had an 8 track of "Bridge over Troubled Water" and he played it
constantly on his 8 track player back in the early 70's. I Never stopped liking

You know I'm very liberal in my thinking, I grew up through the Boy George era, Freddy Mercury coming out, and so on. In other words , 'who cares?' But I've noticed over the last ten years the gays (encompassing all) have turned somewhat militant. That turns me off. In such circumstances I fall back to a default position which I use that was formulated in 1983.
I was being lectured on a construction site about sexual harassment. It was more to do with the lady workers being bothered by the guys. But I also noticed a parallel with gays in the sense that I had seen two gay dudes get hassled off a different jobsite. in both of those situations, it wasn't that the root problem was their life choice. The problem was they were disrupting the jobsite because they weren't 'keeping it in the closet', to put it another way, they were pushing their agenda too hard. In that sense, I have probably developed a weird algorithm that is fine and o.k. to be whatever you are in life, as long as it's not screwing up the well-being of the whole group.
If this kind of language bothers you, the 'dudes comments, maybe you need to take a look at what you say before you say it. In my eyes, your eloquence is no better than theirs.
