Mecque, Mecque 作词: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 !
