Cecilia is a song by Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel, and performed by the duo on their final studio album Bridge over Troubled Water.

Tally Hall would perform Cecilia as an encore in their acoustic set in 2010, with tour guests Skybox and Jukebox The Ghost. Tally Hall chose Cecilia because of a poster Rob Cantor bought with the word "HOOTENANNY" on it, which led them to wanting a "hootenanny" song to do with Skybox and Jukebox The Ghost, of which they considered it the best "hootenanny" song.[1]

Other songs considered included Tiny Dancer by Elton John, the Big Red chewing gum jingle, and Real McCoy's Another Night.[1]


Lyrics

'Cilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
'Cilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home

Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone's taken my place

'Cilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
(Take it up, take it up)
(Take it up, take it up)

Jubilation, she loves me again
I fall on the floor and die laughing
Jubilation, she loves me again
I fall on the floor and die laughing
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
