In english, it's not easy to translate, it's poetic writing, and falsely little girlish, of course...
Annie loves lollipops
aniseed flavoured lollipops
The Annie's aniseed flavoured lollipops
give her kisses
an aniseed taste
and when the aniseed flavoured sugar
flow in Annie's throat,
She's in heaven...
For some pennies
Annie got her aniseed flavoured lollipops
They have the color of her big eyes
the color of the happy days...
(Annie loves lollipops
aniseed flavoured lollipops
The Annie's aniseed flavoured lollipops
give her kisses
an aniseed taste)
When she has on her tongue
only the little stick
She ( here an untranslatable french expression, which Gainsbourg modify lightly, so it becomes allusive to body)
and run back to the drugstore...
Etc...
Pure Gainsbourg! Full of kinky double-entendres, as usual with Mr. G., and brilliant with then ingénue France Gall. Great find!

Oh yes ! France Gall singing "Les sucettes à l'anis" written by Serge Gainsbourg, it's pure cult ! :-))))))
