We Do Wie Du
The Monks Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey, what are you gonna say?
You know we're all gonna make love today.
Yay, yay, yay, yay!
We do as you, we do,
We do, wie du, wie du.
Won't you come with me today?
Hey girl, I'm gonna stay today
And there's nothing,

Nothing you can say.

Overall Meaning

The Monks' song "We Do Wie Du" is a fun, upbeat tune that opens with the line "Hey, hey, what are you gonna say? You know we're all gonna make love today." The lyrics seem to suggest that the world is full of love and that everyone should embrace it. The chorus repeats the line "We do as you, we do, We do, wie du, wie du," which means "We do as you do" in German. It's a catchy line that invites listeners to join in and be part of the group.

The rest of the song is from the perspective of a man trying to convince a woman to spend the day with him. He tells her "Won't you come with me today? Hey girl, I'm gonna stay today and there's nothing, nothing you can say." He's determined to spend time with her, and he's not going to take no for an answer. The song ends with the chorus one last time, reminding us that we're all the same in the end, and we should all love and enjoy life together.
