All Day Suckers (Les Sucettes)

Annie loves all-day suckers
Suckers of aniseed
Annie's suckers
of aniseed
Give her kisses
A taste like ani-
Seed as the slick barley sugar
Perfumed with aniseed
Flows into her throat then Annie
Finds it heavenly

For a few pennies
Annie
Gets her lollypops of
Aniseed
They are the colour of her eyes
The colour of happier times

Annie loves all-day suckers
Suckers of aniseed
Annie's suckers
of aniseed
Give her kisses
A taste like ani-
-Seed when the last thing on her tongue
Is that wooden baton
She runs so fast she cannot stop
