E
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 porch with Charlotte, feelin'
love down to my toes

Chorus:
              A                     E
And we were Swingin', yeah just-a-swingin'
         B
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as
the angels when they sing
   A
I can't believe I'm out here on
her front porch in this swing
         E
Just-A-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
her front porch in this swing

Chorus:
Just a swingin', (Swingin') well,
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 the swing
Just a-swingin' (Swingin')
I said, 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 the swing
Just a-swingin' (Swingin', swingin')
