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
