I don't see any pedophelia in the song. At all. That's modern politically correct crap. People read so much into stuff. As sung by Chevalier its a charming song by a man who's seen it all and is narrating the story of one young girl who grows up just as his nephew too grows up. It's an older man narrating how young girls grow up into young women just as little boys grow up to be men who then find those women attractive. It's less sexual and more the musings of a spry old man who remembers fondly his own youth. You use the song as intended: with Honore singing the song. If audiences see pedophelia then they should examine their own perverted minds. I guess those same people look at grandfathers who love their grandchildren and think pedophelia too. I just watched the film again and Chevalier is utterly charming in the film and in that number. It perfectly sets up the story of a young girl who grows up before our eyes. There isn't anything more happening. If the censors of the 1950s didn't have a problem with it, it's funny how modern audiences would have a problem. again, I think it's lack of trust in the material and that never bodes well with a revival.
