Mecque Mecque

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 !
