There's a little girl in our neighborhood
Her name is Charlotte Johnson
And she's really lookin' 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

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 rollin' up a garden hose
I was on the porch with Charlotte feelin' love down to my toes

And we were swingin' (swingin')
Yeah, just a-swingin' (swingin')
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on her front porch in this swing
A-swingin' (swingin')

Yeah, and we were swingin' (swingin')
Yeah, just a-swinging (swingin')
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sang
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in the swing
A-swingin' (swingin')

Now Charlotte she's the darlin', she's the apple of my eye
And when I'm on the swing with her, shemakes me almost high
Charlotte is my lover, she has been since the spring
Just can't believe it started on her front porch in this swing

We were swingin' (swingin')
Yeah, just a-swingin' (swingin')
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sang
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in the swing
A-swangin' (swingin')

I said, little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sang
I can't believe I'm out here on her front porch in the swing
A-swangin' (swingin')
(Swingin')
