Mrs. Robinson

Weezer · Other Songs - Weezer

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 candidate's 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
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

Mrs. Robinson

Weezer's cover of Simon & Garfunkel's classic "Mrs. Robinson" showcases the band's ability to reinterpret established pop-rock anthems through their signature alt-rock lens. Released during the era of their self-titled Green Album, this recording captures the group's knack for balancing melodic accessibility with a distinct, slightly detached vocal delivery. The track fits within a broader discography that includes hits like "Island in the Sun" and "Buddy Holly," demonstrating the band's consistent engagement with catchy hooks and nostalgic references. By tackling such an iconic piece, Weezer highlights their versatility and enduring influence on the genre, proving their capacity to honor musical history while maintaining their unique sonic identity. This version remains a notable song in their extensive catalogue of covers and original compositions.
