Les sucettes Annie aime les sucettes Les sucettes à l'anis Les sucettes à l'anis d'Annie Donnent à ses baisers Un goût anisé Lorsque le sucre d'orge Parfumé à l'anis Coule dans la gorge d'Annie Elle est au paradis Pour quelques penny, Annie A ses sucettes à l'anis Elles ont la couleur de ses grands yeux La couleur des jours heureux Annie aime les sucettes Les sucettes à l'anis Les sucettes à l'anis d'Annie Donnent à ses baisers Un goût anisé Lorsqu'elle n'a sur sa langue Que le petit bâton Elle prend ses jambes à son corps Et retourne au drugstore Pour quelques penny, Annie A ses sucettes à l'anis Elles ont la couleur de ses grands yeux La couleur des jours heureux Lorsque le sucre d'orge Parfumé à l'anis Coule dans la gorge d'Annie Elle est au paradis.
