      Although there are words with q without u suck as Qwerty and Iraq or Souq.

    *Quiet* down, folks,
    This is gonna be *quick*.
    Let me tell you something
    That I think is *quite* slick.
    I'm a letter Q, kinda shy, you can tell.
    But when I grab my partner, I come out of my shell.
    Yeah, you never,
    No, you never see Q without U.
    You can *quote* me:
    "No one goes with me *quite* like you do."
    No one *equals* the way we say *"queen."*
    Go *inquire*. You see what I mean?
    'Cause I promise you won't,
    You just don't
    See a Q without U.
    Take a look at *"quarter"* and at *"quitter"* and *"quip."*
    Q and U together are incredibly hip.
    You never see a Q all alone on a town.
    But put me with a U, (what) I get around.
    Yeah, you never,
    No, you never see Q without U.
    There's no *question*
    That my *quest* for a partner is a'through.
    We say *"quilt"* and *"require"* with ease.
    That is why Letter U's my main *squeeze*.
    Yes, I *quiver* and *squawk*.
    I just can't even talk
    Without U.
    If you wanna say *"queasy"* or *"quack,"*
    Just about any word but _"Iraq,"_
    It sounds *queer*, but it's true,
    You just never see Q
    Without U.
    It sounds *queer*, but it's true,
    You just never see Q
    Without U.

    Most words starting with "Q" are followed by "U," but there are many words that don't, such as Qin, Qingdao, Qatar, etc.
    These words are usually borrowed words from Chinese or Arabic. And if the Q is pronounced like a ch sound, you can know that it's definitely borrowed from Chinese.

    Hey, what about "squirrel," "squeal," and "squeak,"
    "Quart," "Equator," "equine," so to speak?
    This is just like a "quiz,"
    Where a Q never is
    Without U!

    Technically, there are 71 words that have a Q without a U. Grant it, the vast majority of them are Arabic and all the others are also non-English words, but they are words.
    And if those don't count, I believe 'Qwerty' does count.

      Yes, then there are "qat" and "Qin," but the target audience would be too young to understand those... although the Q who was singing the song *did* mention "Iraq."
      And none of those "Q Without You" are the English language's own words. Those are just loanwords... and "Qwerty" (another one) is not really a real word... only some short form of a code on how the letters on anyone's computer keyboard are arranged.
