Mecque Mecque lyrics

Mecque, Mecque
The Gaylords
Written by Charles Aznavour, Gilbert Becaud, and Bunny Paul

Peaked at # 28 in 1954

TRANSCRIBER`S NOTES: Single was released under this title, but BMI lists it as `Me Que.`
Given two writers being French, it likely that is the true title, for that does match
known French words. From the direct-address format, one would suspect a proper name or a
nickname. It is pronounced by the Gaylords as `ma-KAY` and an accent aigu would be added
but it does not survive a trip over the Internet. Most lyrics sung by entire group.
(words sung by lead only)

CHORUS
Mecque, Mecqu, m`qu`est que c`est?
Please tell me when you`ll name the day
Mecque, Mecqu,, m`qu`est que c`est?
The day when you and I are one

(doot-doot-wah, doot-doot-wah)

I`ll buy you diamond rings, I`ll buy you everything
If you will only be my bride, ou- ?
I`m so in love with you, there`s nothing I won`t do
To have you, darling, by my side, ou- !

(You`ll have a yacht, a couple Cadillacs)
(I`ll even love to pay your income tax)
So please don`t hesitate, you know I just can`t wait
Oh, won`t you answer me, my sweet Mecque, ?

CHORUS

(doot-doot-wah, doot-doot-wah)

I told you how I feel and that my love is real
And now it`s strictly up to you, (no ?)
And if you should decide to be my blushing bride
For ever more I will be true, (yes ?)

(And in a year when maybe we are three)
(Oh, can`t you see how happy we will be?)
So please be kind to me and whisper `ou-` to me
Say you will marry me, my sweet Mecque

CHORUS

The day when you and I are one
The day when you and I are one
Mecque, Mecque
