"Little Child" (also known as "Mommy Dear" and "Mon Enfant") was recorded by Marilyn Manson during Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) sessions, but remains unreleased in its entirety as-of-yet. The song was released as a low-quality one-minute recording in a podcast, along with a low-quality recording of another rare, yet unreleased set of songs titled "Jack Eats Dinner" and "Compass and the Ruler", and a fourth song in high-quality, a cover of Charles Manson's "Sick City". The song was originally performed by Wes Montgomery in 1966.

Lyrics

The lyrics below are not complete in the sense that the song does continue, by implication. The only publicly known clip of the song in existence runs for a minute and one second (1:01), and so the lyrics below reflect what is heard in the released clip.

    Mommy dear tell me please, is the world really round?
    Tell me where is the bluebird of happiness found
    Tell me why is the sky up above us so blue
    And when you were a child, did your mommy tell you
    What becomes...
