Were we once so innocent?
Check out this video from the 1960's. The girl who the song was written, uh, "for" said she didn't get it for some time...then, sometime explained to her how birds and bees make each other happy in non-reproducing ways and she "hid in her room for months."
Ah, those were the days.
For those who don't speak French (and hey, who doesn't), here are the lyrics:
Annie likes suckers
The anise flavored suckers
The anise flavored suckers
Of Annie
Give her kisses
A aniseed taste
While the creamy sugar
Flavored with anise
Sinks in Annie's throat,
She's in heaven.
For a few pennies, Annie
Has her Anise suckers
They are the color of her big eyes,
The color of happy days
Annie likes suckers
The anise flavored suckers
The anise flavored suckers
Of Annie
Give her kisses
A aniseed taste
When on her tongue,
All but the little stick is done,
She runs as fast as she can
Back to the drugstore.
