Hey! Little Child Lyrics

Oh, you're a pretty little thing
someone must have been nice to you
oh, walking down the lane
coming back from the catholic school

hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh, little fool
are you learning anything in school
maybe you might drop out
maybe travel somewhere down south

hey, hey, hey, hey
little child
little child

Plaid skirt, flannel vest
silly nubiles are the best
now you look so forlorn
passing by in your uniform

hey, hey, hey
little child
little child

hey
sacred heart
hey
little child

Cover art for Hey!  Little Child lyrics by Alex Chilton

Pretty self-explanatory: he likes watching little girls in their catholic school uniforms.

"maybe travel somewhere down south"

I'm not one to jump immediately to absurd metaphors about drugs and/or sex, but in this case, I'm pretty sure he's not talking about going down to Texas.

I'm pretty sure it's "silly nubiles."

nubile- adj. 2. Sexually mature and attractive. Used of young women.
