Sångtexter
Mrs. Robinson
Paul Simon
Om låten
Mrs Robinson är ledmotiv i filmen” The Graduate” (”Mandomsprovet”), med Dustin Hoffman i huvudrollen. Ingemar har sett filmen många gånger och sjöng gärna sången på sina live-spelningar på 70-talet. (Fler Paul Simon-låtar fanns förresten också på repertoaren, t.ex. Sounds of Silence). Filmens fru Robinson var en ganska osympatisk person och Ingemar fascinerades av sångtextens: ”And here’s to you Mrs Robinson: Jesus loves you more than you will know”.
Ingemars version är lite tuffare än originalet. Simon & Garfunkel använde inga trummor eller elektriska gitarrer. Vissa basgångar dubbas också på piano. Här och där sjunger Clabbe en överstämma.
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’ 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 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
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 candidates’ depate
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
(Woo woo woo)
What’s that you say, Mrs. Robinson
‘Joltin Joe’ has left and gone away?
(Hey hey hey – hey hey hey)
