Mecca

Artist: Gene Pitney (peak Billboard position # 12 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
 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)
