This track is a classic Elvis tune and one of his more playful tracks. It is a great representation of the flirtatious nature that Rockabilly sometimes boasts. When trying to think of album openers, I always came back to this song. This is my interpretation of a great song! It's catchy, It's flirty and It's Elvis. Who can argue with that?

LYRICS:
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Kiss me once or twice
Then say it's really 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 the back 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 really nice
And then you run
Little sister, don't you
Do what your big sister done
Every time I see your sister
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
Then say it's really 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 really 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
This is an album that truly feels like it could have been recorded in the 30s, in the midst of the Appalachians. If you like old-time material but with a modern twist, check it out! Brandon Warr
