Judy,

Those are the words in the song by Patti Labelle, popular about 15-20 
years ago. I saw an interview with Labelle several years ago and she 
said that when she recorded the song she did not even know what the 
words meant!

Shortly after the song became famous a lady who lived across the 
street bought a tee shirt with the words "Voulez vous coucher avec 
moi ce soir" without knowing the meaning. When she found out, she 
gave me the tee shirt. She was quite a looker but the gift of the tee 
shirt was not an invitation to do as the song suggested.
