Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a little girl in our neighborhood
Her name is Charlotte Johnson and she's really looking good
I had to go and see her, so I called her on the phone
I walked over to her house and this was going on
[Verse 2]
Her brother was on the sofa, eatin' chocolate pie
Her mama was in the kitchen cuttin' chicken up to fry
Her daddy was in the backyard rolling up a garden hose
I was on the porch with Charlotte feeling love down to my toes
[Verse 3]
And we were swingin'
Mmm, we were swingin'
Little Charlotte, she's a pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch swing
Just a swingin'
Mmm, just a swingin'
Ah, swing it now
[Verse 4]
Now Charlotte, she's a darling, she's the apple of my eye
When I'm on the swing with her, well, it makes me almost high
Now Charlotte is my lover, she has been since the spring
I can't believe it started on her front porch in the swing
[Verse 5]
We were swingin'
Mmm, swingin'
Little Charlotte, she's a pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch swing
Just a swingin'
Mmm, just a swingin'
[Verse 6]
There's a little girl in our neighborhood
Her name is Charlotte Johnson and she's really looking good
I had to go and see her, so I called her on the phone
I walked over to her house and this was going on
[Verse 7]
Her brother was on the sofa, eatin' chocolate pie
Her mama was in the kitchen cuttin' chicken up to fry
Her daddy was in the backyard rolling up a garden hose
I was on the porch with Charlotte feeling love down to my toes
[Verse 8]
And we were swingin'
Yeah, we was swingin'
Little Charlotte, she's a pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch swing
Just a swingin'
Just a swingin'
[Verse 9]
Yeah, we were swingin'
Ah, swingin'
Swingin'
Yeah, we were swingin'
That's all we're doin'
Just a little swingin'
Swingin'
We were swingin'
