    The "Quarter" is obviously the FRENCH Quarter. So Just translate  Voulez   
   vous.  Its  common French term usually used in a question and means "do you   
   want to____?" He opts to repeat the "Voulez" 3 times because he needs that   
   many syllables to  fill in    
   the measure. Were he less subtle he might have said something like "Foutre   
   foutre voulez vous. (Ha ha.. if you dont know what that  means look it up).   
   Actually sounds pretty good rolling off the tongue-- but there are more   
   elegant and romantic ways to    
   say the same thing in French. (Tho it might be what he means).   Either way...   
   Its a love song and he's asking the girl what she wants to do. He leaves it   
   for the listener to fill in the predicate.
