Words & music by paul simon      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, and 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, and the five satins   The easy stream of laughter   Flowing through the air   Rene and georgette magritte   With their dog apres 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 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?   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
