more than you will know.

Hide it in a
hiding place where no one ever goes.
Put it in the
pantry with your cupcakes.
It's a little
secret, just the Robinson's affair.
Most of all you
got to hide it from the kids.
Coo, coo, cachoo,
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,

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.
Whoa-whoa-whoa.
What's that you
say, Mrs. Robinson. Joltin' Joe
has left and gone away.
Hey, hey,
hey. Hey, hey, hey.
