"Hey Little Boy" is a rock song by Australian band Divinyls, released as the second single from their 1988 album Temperamental. The song was a cover of the 1966 hit song "Little Girl" by American rock 'n' roll band Syndicate of Sound. However, when Divinyls recorded their version of the song, they had the gender roles reversed. The song was a moderate success when released, making the top thirty on the Australian singles chart where it peaked at number twenty-three. In addition, the single spent twelve weeks in the top fifty.
