(doc pomus, mort shuman)

Chorus:
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 a show
I went for some candy
Along came jim dandy
And they slipped right out the door

Chorus:
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

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

Chorus:
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

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
Guess I'll try my luck with you

Chorus:
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

Overall Meaning

The song 'Little Sister' by Dwight Yoakam is a cover of a track written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. The song describes the singer's desire for his little sister's affection, while warning her that she should not behave like his previous lover. The song begins with the chorus, urging the little sister not to kiss him and then flee, telling her not to follow in her big sister's footsteps.


The verses narrate his previous relationship with the elder sister, where he reminisces taking her out for a show and later, finding out that she had left with someone else. In these verses, he teases the little sister, mentioning how he used to pull her pigtails and pinch her nose when she was young, pointing out how she has grown in a complimentary way. He then confesses to his attraction to her and how he wishes to try his luck with her instead of her big sister.


The song's lyrics showcase a playful, flirtatious nature with an underlying message of caution. The singer's warning to the little sister not to follow in her big sister's footsteps and his description of his previous relationship possibly indicate a warning about heartbreak and disappointment.

Don’t you dare mister, I’m on the qui vive
And don’t vex my little sister, I’ll be quick off the mark
And do you want some pretty handcuffs, then I call 911
And do you hear the siren, now you are on the run

Trust me little sister, I’ll catch the buggy mister
I’m on my way to you to make you laugh
I’m on the streets and on the roof above
Trust me little sister

All I hear as you’re speaking is just a bla bla bla
And don’t ever try to tease me, I’m up to every trick
And don’t you dare mister, I’m on the qui vive
Don’t vex my little sister, I’ll be quick off the mark

Trust me little sister, I’ll catch the buggy mister
I’m on my way to you to make you laugh
I’m on the streets and on the roof above
Trust me little sister

I’m on my way to you to make you laugh
I’m on the streets and on the roof above
Trust me little sister

Ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah
