say you?

Might it not be : Say "you", say "me" etc...Like in ' "ha ha", said the clown, "has the king lost his crown etc" ' (Manfred Man)

Taka,

Do you know the question, 'What say you?' ?

Dear Taka,

It is in my opinion also «say "you", say "me"». It is that they are linked now. The one must follow the other.

Kind regards,

DavkettTaka,

Do you know the question, 'What say you?' ?

No, I didn't know that expression.

Could you please explain how such an expression can be grammatically possible?

It's idiomatic for, "What do you say, huh?"

I don't know the song, but it's lyrics we're talking about, (right?) where grammar doesn't have to be sound.

I'm just guessing that 'say you' and 'say me' may mean, 'What do you say?', What do I say?', 'What do we say together?'.

"Say you, say me, say it together, naturally". Davkett, I'd be more inclined to think that the man - it's a man who sings - wants the woman to practise saying "you and me " aloud, so she gets used to linking both words, that is both of them, "naturally". I agree with Goldmund, here...

Pieanne,

It sure makes a whole lot more sense that way. Sorry to be misleading, if I was. At least Taka collected a new idiom.

I think these four lines can be rephrased into a single line for easy understanding:

Say you and me are together,naturally

Savvy

I'm a big Lionel Richie fan and a native english speaker, and I'm pretty sure that it is say "you", say "me." As far as analyzing the song's lyrics, it is not a love song at all. It is a song about people getting along and even has a reference to Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speach which is about all people of all races living together in peace.
