Nino Ferrer Lyrics
"Little Lili"

Little Lili is sitting on the top of the tower
Waiting for the sunset and for some fresh air
But the sunset is dirty and the fresh air is none
You know that kind of lazy afternoon.
Little Lili is only twelve years old
She knows about love but she is too young for romance
What seemed to be a game is now a dirty crime
Pity he is in jail for such a long time.

Would you reach her ? Would you teach her ?
Would you touch her ? Would you kiss her tiny peach ?
Her tiny sweety peach, would you reach her ?
Would you teach her ? Would you touch her ?
Would you kiss her tiny peach, her tiny little peach ?

Little Mamahu under an African sun
She just became a woman and the pain has begun
Four fat ladies hold her down really tight
While the witch doctress is performing her rite.
Little Mamahu is only twelve years old
She knows about love but she is too sore for romance
She cries for religion or what else is it
While they're cutting off her tiny little bit.

Would you reach her ? Would you teach her ?
Would you touch her ? Would you kiss her tiny peach ?
Her tiny little peach, would you reach her ?
Would you teach her ? Would you touch her ?
Would you kiss her tiny peach ? Her tiny little peach, yes...

Little Ming lying under cold black earth
She never even learnt the facts of life and birth
A big steel rocket has torn through her thighs
And no man was there to hear her cries.
Little Ming is only twelve years old
She knew about love but she is too dead for romance
What seemed to be a crime is just a dirty game
And no one cares about it, and no one takes the blame.

Would you reach her ? Would you teach her ?
Would you touch her ? Would you kiss her tiny peach ?
Her tiny sweety peach, would you reach her ?
Would you teach her ? Would you touch her ?
Would you kiss her tiny peach, her tiny sweety peach ? Yeah !
Tiny sweety peach, would you reach her ?
Would you teach her ? Would you touch her ?
Would you kiss her tiny peach, her tiny little peach ? Yeah !
Would you teach her ? Would you reach her ?
Would you touch her ? Would you kiss her tiny peach ?
Her tiny little peach, yeah ! Would you teach her ?
Would you reach her ? Yeah ! Would you touch her ?
Would you kiss her tiny peach, her tiny tiny little peach ?
Yeah ! Sure...
