Paul Simon Lyrics
"René and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog After the War"

Rene and Georgette Magritte
with their dog after the war
returned to their hotel suite
and they unlocked the door
easily losing their evening clothes
they danced by the light of the moon

To the Penguins
the Moonglows
the Orioles
the Five Satins
the deep, forbidden music
they'd been longing for
Rene and Georgette Magritte
with their dog after the war

Rene and Georgette Magritte
with their dog after the war
were strolling down Christopher Street
when they stopped in a men's store
with all of the mannequins dressed in the style
that brought tears to their immigrant eyes

Just like the Penguins
the Moonglows
the Orioles
the Five Satins
the easy stream of laughter
flowing through the air
Rene and Georgette Magritte
with their dog apre la guerre

Side by side they fell asleep
decades gliding by like Indians, time is cheap
when they wake up, they will find
all their personal belongings have intertwined
(oh-oh-oooooh)

Rene and Georgette Magritte
with their dog after the war
dined with the power elite
when they looked in their bedroom day
what do you think they have hidden away
in the cabinet cold of their hearts?

The Penguins;
the Moonglows.
- the Orioles,
and the Five Satins.
for now and ever after
as it was before
Rene and Georgette Magritte
...with their dog...after the war
