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
[Hook]
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)
[Verse 2]
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
[Hook]
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)
[Verse 3]
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
Ev’ry way you look at it, you lose
[Hook]
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A 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)
“Joltin Joe” is counting his “Mr. Coffee Residuals” on the field of dreams.

Was he in Field of Dreams? Too young? Maybe he’s old enough now?

Field of Dreams — the great stadium in the sky. Remember Bill Kearn, the sports announcer in “Radio Days”?

What a swell idea!! A field of dreams, right in our own backyard!! I’d invite all the Boys of Summer. But NOT Ty Cobb or Judge Kennesaw “Mountain” Landis.

You are the ONLY one who saw the words and remembered the song. But the song popped for me as soon as I saw the word. Your site is very interesting.

I liked the movie but always felt weird about Dustin H playing a college graduate. Seemed too “old” for that part! I loved the soundtrack and millions of people went out and bought Simon and Garfunkel after that movie! (I am making up the number but may not be too high in my exaggeration, Marilyn!) Hugs, Robin
I have ‘hit’ the busy season at the auto parts warehouse and barely keeping my nose above the water on my blog.

Dustin was only 24 when he made the movie. So he was not an unreasonable age for his role in the roll. But he never looked like a kid.
This is definitely the high time for car repairs. Everyone is getting ready to drive because no one wants to fly!

I think we’re getting “The Graduate” and “Field of Dreams” mixed up in the comments. Yes, I “tear up” after every viewing of “Field”. I usually smile after “The Graduate”.
“Field of Dreams” is special for die hard baseball fans. James Earl Jones monologue about baseball says it all. It’s truly a feel good movie. It was also Burt Lancaster’s final film role, I believe.
I think Dustin Hoffman was age appropriate for Benjamin in “The Graduate”. Many of us were unfamiliar with Hoffman at that point. Anne Bancroft was the hot “cougar” before that term became popular.
Plastics!!
