Lyrics
Little sister, don’t you-
Little sister, don’t you-
Little sister, don’t you kiss me once or twice
And say it’s very nice, and then you run
Little sister, don’t you do what your big sister does
Well, I dated your big sister, and I took her to a show
I went for some candy, along came Jim Dandy
And they snuck right out of the door
Little sister, don’t you-
Little sister, don’t you-
Little sister, don’t you kiss me once or twice
And say it’s very nice, and then you run
Little sister, don’t you do what your big sister does
Every time I see your sister
Well, she’s got somebody new
She’s mean, and she’s evil like that old Boll Weevil
Guess I’ll try my luck with you
Little sister, don’t you-
Little sister, don’t you-
Little sister, don’t you kiss me once or twice
And say it’s very nice, and then you run
Little sister, don’t you do what your big sister does
Well, I used to pull your pigtails
And pinch your turned-up nose
But you been a-growin’
And baby, it’s been showin’ from your head down to your toes
Little sister, don’t you-
Little sister, don’t you-
Little sister, don’t you kiss me once or twice
And say it’s very nice, and then you run
Little sister, don’t you do what your big sister does
Little sister, don’t you do what your big sister done
Little sister, don’t you do what your big sister done
