As with any unofficial lyrics site, many of the listings are based on upon my listening to the song and should therefore not be considered the final authority. (Only the original author can claim that!). In other words, passages that are difficult to hear or understand on the recording may not reflect what was actually sung/said to an exacting extent. (This usually only means a "the" or "and" may be missing or added.) I will note, however, that I have doubled checked almost every song on this list against various Paul Simon songbooks and online listings and am confident of their overall accuracy.

Please be aware that this listing of lyrics is provided as a service to fans and is not intended to conflict with any copyright laws. If you wish to quote any part of a song, please cite the original release information. Some examples in the MLA format are given below...
