I never understand the "creepy" factor, sorry. Read the lyric, listen to the song - this grandfatherly character is not saying he WANTS a pre-pubescent girl, for God's sake. He's saying that little girls grow up to be delightful women. Do people find it "creepy" when an older person says about a child "what a beautiful young girl (or young lady, depending on one's vernacular) - or what a handsome young boy (because, you know, women say that all the time). I'm so bored of this stuff, frankly.
Wasn't trying to infer that Chevalier was desiring very young girls, and I understand the intent of the song, especially the chorus lyric. Perhaps what makes it a bit creepy for me is that it's being sung by an actor I really do not care for. Just me.
