SINGER: Gene Pitney

SONG:Mecca

(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
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.
(instrumental interlude-chiefly guitar)
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.
(ending instrumental-chiefly indian fakir's flute)
