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 and 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
 ♪
 René and Georgette Magritte
 With their dog after the war
 Were dining with the power elite
 And they peeked in their bedroom drawer
 
 And what do you think they've found hidden away
 In the cabinet cold of their hearts?
 ♪
 The Penguins, the Moonglows
 The Orioles and Five Satins
 For now and ever after as it was before
 René and Georgette Magritte
 With their dog after the war
