Little Sister

About Little Sister

"Little Sister" is a rock and roll song written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. It was originally released as a single in 1961 by American singer Elvis Presley, who enjoyed a No. 5 hit with it on the Billboard Hot 100. The single (as a double A-side with "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame") also reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart. Lead guitar was played by Hank Garland, with backing vocals by the Jordanaires featuring the distinctive bass voice of Ray Walker. Presley performs the song as part of a medley with "Get Back" in the 1970 rockumentary film Elvis: That's the Way It Is. The song would later be covered by such artists as Dwight Yoakam, Robert Plant, The Nighthawks, The Staggers, Pearl Jam, and Ry Cooder. Cooder's version was a number-one hit in New Zealand. The song lyric makes mention of "Jim Dandy" which was the title of a 1956 song "Jim Dandy" by LaVern Baker. An answer song to "Little Sister", with the same melody but different lyrics, was recorded and released under the title "Hey, Memphis" by Baker on Atlantic Records (Atlantic 2119-A) in September 1961. more »

Little sister don't you, little sister don't you
Little sister don't you kiss me once or twice
Tell me that it's nice and then you run
Yeah, yeah, little sister don't do what your big sister done

You know I dated your big sister
Oh, I took her to the show
Hey I went for some candy
Along came Jim Dandy
And they slipped right out the door

Little sister don't you, little sister don't you
Little sister don't you kiss me once or twice
Tell me that it's nice and then you run
Yeah, little sister don't do what your big sister done, hup, hup, hup, hup

I used to pull down on your pigtails
Hey girl, and pinch your turned up nose
Oh, but baby you been growin'
And lately 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
Tell me that it's nice and then you run
Yeah, little sister don't do what your big sister done, hup, hup, hup oh get on

Every time I see your sister
Lord, she's with somebody new
Aw, she's mean and she's evil
Like a little ol' boll weevil
Think 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
Tell me that it's nice and then you run
Hey, little sister don't you do what your big sister done
Well, little sister don't you do what your big sister done
Aw, little sister don't you do what your big sister done
