Is he singing "Ma Lolita" (My Lolita) instead of "Moi Lolita" (Me, Lolita)? Is he doing a Humbert Humbert? I don't know, but that's the only way it can make any sense for a man to sing this song at all. And it's kind of disgusting even so.
I presume from the intonation and altered melody that the whole performance is very sardonic. It would seem that part of its, er, appeal is the cognitive dissonance of a wan, morose man singing (if you can call it that) about being a reluctantly sexually precocious pubescent girl.

There's presumably a reason that Julien was labeled the French Sanjaya by PerezHilton.
