Little Sister

l'Artiste: Elvis Presley

Album: From Nashville to Memphis - The Essential 60s Masters, 1993

"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. An answer song with the same melody, but different lyrics was recorded and released under the title "Hey, Memphis" by LaVern Baker on Atlantic Records (Atlantic 2119-A) in September 1961. Elvis Presley performs the song as part of a medley with "Get Back" in the 1970 rockumentary film Elvis: That's the Way It Is.

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 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
Then 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 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
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 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
