lyrics

Rene and Georgette Magritte With their dog after the war
Words & Music by Paul Simon
c Paul Simon Music/UMPG

[Verse 1]
Rene and Georgette Magritte
With their dog after the war
Returned to their hotelsuite
And they unlocked the door
Easily losing their evening clothes
They dance by the light of the moon

[Chorus 2]
To The Penguins
The Moonglows
The Orioles
And The Five Satins

[Verse 2]
The deep forbidden music
They'd been longing for

[Chorus 1]
Rene and Georgette Magritte
With their dog after the war

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 2]
To The Penguins
The Moonglows
The Orioles
And The Five Satins

[Verse 4]
The easy stream of laughter
Flowing through the air
Rene and Georgette Magritte
With their dog apres la guerre

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 5]
Rene and Georgette Magritte
With their dog after the war

Were dining with the power elite
And they looked in their bedroom drawer
And what do you think
They have hidden away
In the cabinet cold of their hearts?

[Chorus 2]
To The Penguins
The Moonglows
The Orioles
And The Five Satins

[Outro]
For now and ever after
As it was before
Rene and Georgette Magritte with their dog
After the war
