Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir) ? (French pronunciation: ​[vule vu kuʃe avɛk mwa (sə swaʁ)] , "Do you [formal] want to sleep with me (tonight)?") is a French phrase that has become well known in the English-speaking world through a popular song.

Use of the phrase in print in the English-speaking world can be traced to the early 20th century.
