Knock Down Ginger is a childish game played in many cultures. It has many variations, one of which involves knocking on the door of, or pressing the doorbell of the victim and then running away before they get to the door. In the UK, the doors of council estates were once stained ginger, hence the other name, knock down ginger.
One of the variations known as "sour puss" involves pressing the doorbell of the victim, and then saying "sour puss" several times when they open the door.

I'd never heard the phrase or heard of the game -- but Wikipedia has your answer (English estates used to have Ginger colored doors).
I was rather hoping it came from GILLIGAN'S ISLAND.
