Oh 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 goin' on

Her brother was on the sofa, eatin' chocolate pie
Her momma 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'
Yeah just a swingin'

Well 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
Just a swingin'
Awe come on

Now charlotte she's a darlin', she's the apple of my eye
When I'm on the swing with her, it makes me almost high
For charlotte is my lover, she has been since the spring
I just can't believe it started on the front porch in the swing
We were swingin'
Yeah we were swingin'

Well little charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in this swing
Just a swingin'

Now little charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in the swing
Just a swingin'
Yeah we were swingin'
