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 done

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 done

Every time I see your sister

Well, she's got somebody new

She's mean and she's evil like that little 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 done

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 done

Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done
