| 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)
|
| 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,?
|
| (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
|
| The day when you and I are one
|
| The day when you and I are one
|
| Mecque, Mecque ! |
