Mecca

                                       Peak Position;#4 in 1963

(opening instrumental--chiefly Indian fakir's flute)

I live on the West side, she lives on the East side of the stree-ee-eet
And though they say that East is East and West is West
And never the twain shall meet
Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca...(Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca...(Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e.

Oh she's my dream goddess and her ruby lips are so div-i-ine
And though her folks say we're too young to know of love
I worship at her shrine...(Mecca, Mecca)
Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca...(Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca...(Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e.

    ---(Music Interlude)---

Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca...(Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca...(Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e...
