* 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 the show
I went for some candy
Along came Jim Dandy
And they snuck right out the door

* Repeat

Everytime I see your sister
Well she's got somebody new
She's mean and she's evil
Like a little old boll weevil
Guess I'll try my love with you

* Repeat

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

* Repeat

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