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 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 swing with Charlotte, feelin' love down to my toes

And we were swingin', yeah we were swingin'
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe it started on the front porch on the swing
Where we were swingin’, swingin’

Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe it started on the front porch on the swing
Where we were swingin’, swingin’

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

And we were swingin', we were swingin'
Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe it started on the front porch on the swing
Where we were swingin’, swingin’
Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe it started on the front porch in the swing
Where we were swingin’, swingin’

We were swingin’
We were swingin’, swingin’, swingin’ away
Yeah we were swingin’, swingin’, swingin’ away
Yeah we were swingin’
Su-su-su-swingin’
Swang-swang-swingin’, we were swingin’

I can't believe it started on the front porch in the swing
Swingin’, swingin’, swingin’, swingin’, swingin’, swingin’
