Paul Simon - Rene and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog After the War (original acoustic version) lyrics

René 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 René and Georgette Magritte With their dog after the war René 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 René and Georgette Magritte With their dog après 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 Whoa, whoa, whoa René 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? The Penguins, the Moonglows The Orioles, and the Five Satins For now and ever after As it was before René and Georgette Magritte With their dog after the war
