Monique Serf, born in Paris, France, into a Jewish family, was ten years old when she had to go into hiding during the German occupation of France in World War II. After the war ended, a neighbourhood music teacher heard her sing and took an interest in helping her develop her talents. She was given vocal lessons and taught to play the piano, and eventually she enrolled at the Ecole Supérieure de Musique. However, money was a problem and she gave up her musical studies to sing at "La Fontaine des Quatre Saisons", a popular cabaret at the time in Paris.
A sensitive girl, she was deeply scarred by the war and her family's plight. Her inner feelings of emptiness showed in her appearance and in her songs. Serf wrote in her autobiography, Il etait un piano noir, that her father sexually abused her when she was ten. He later left the family, never to return; Serf went to his funeral in Nantes, which gave rise to one of her most popular songs, "Nantes".

Si La Photo Est Bonne
Barbara Lyrics
Si la photo est bonne
Juste en deuxième colonne
Y a le voyou du jour
Qui a une petite gueule d'amour
Dans la rubrique du vice
Y a l'assassin de service
Qui n'a pas du tout l'air méchant
Qui a plutôt l'œil intéressant
Coupable ou non coupable
S'il doit se mettre à table
Que j'aimerais qu'il vienne
Pour se mettre à la mienne
Si la photo est bonne
Il est bien de sa personne
N'a pas plus l'air d'un assassin
Que le fils de mon voisin
Ce gibier de potence
Pas sorti de l'enfance
Va faire sa dernière prière
Pour avoir trop aimé sa mère
Bref, on va prendre un malheureux
Qui avait le cœur trop généreux
Moi qui suis femme de président
J'en ai pas moins de cœur pour autant
De voir tomber des têtes
À la fin, ça m'embête
Et mon mari, le président
Qui m'aime bien, qui m'aime tant
Quand j'ai le cœur qui flanche
Tripote la balance
Si la photo est bonne
Qu'on m'amène ce jeune homme
Ce fils de rien, ce tout et pire
Cette crapule au doux sourire
Ce grand gars au cœur tendre
Qu'on n'a pas su comprendre
Je sens que je vais le conduire
Sur le chemin du repentir
Pour l'avenir de la France
Contre la délinquance
C'est bon, je fais le premier geste
Que la justice fasse le reste
Surtout qu'il soit fidèle
Surtout, je vous rappelle
À l'image de son portrait
Qu'ils se ressemblent trait pour trait
C'est mon ultime condition
Pour lui accorder mon pardon
Qu'on m'amène ce jeune homme
Si la photo est bonne
Si la photo est bonne
Si la photo est bonne
