Song Lyrics - Little Sister
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
Then 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 took her to the show
I went for some candy
Along came Jim Dandy
And they snuck right out 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
Ev'ry 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 love with you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
Then 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've 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
Then 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
