Les sucettes [English translation]

Annie likes lollipops

Aniseed flavoured lollipops

Annie's aniseed flavoured lollipops

Give her kisses a taste of aniseed.

When the barley sugar

Flavoured with aniseed

Flows down Annie's throat

She is in paradise

For a few pennies, Annie

Has her aniseed lollipops

They are the colour of her big eyes

The colour of happy days

Annie likes lollipops

Aniseed flavoured lollipops

Annie's aniseed flavoured lollipops

Give her kisses a taste of aniseed.

When she has nothing on her tongue 1

But the little stick

She picks up her feet 2

And goes back to the drugstore

For a few pennies, Annie

Has her aniseed lollipops

They are the colour of her big eyes

The colour of happy days

When the barley sugar

Flavoured with aniseed

Flows down Annie's throat

She is in paradise

1. the SG version has the slightly different line "Quand elle n'a sur sa langue''2. prendre ses jambes à son cou is an expression meaning to get a move on, ie pick up ones feet. This seems to be the same expression but using 'corps' to rhyme with 'store'
