There's a little girl
In our neighborhood
Her name is Charlotte Johnson
And she's really lookin' good
Well, 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', swingin'
Yes, we were 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
Just a-swingin', swingin', swingin'
Now Charlotte, she's a darlin'
She's the apple of my eye
When I'm on the swing with her
Well, 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 her front porch in this swing
Just a-swingin', swingin'
Oh, 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
Just a-swingin', swingin'
Little Charlotte, she's as pretty
As the angels when they sing
And I can't believe I'm out here
On her front porch in this swing
Just a-swingin', swingin'
Oh, just a-swingin', swingin'
Just a-swingin'
Oh, just a-swingin'
