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 !
