Swingin' Lyrics - Anderson John

There's a little girl in our neighborhood 

Her name is Charlette 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 cake 

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 

Chorus 

And we were swingin' 

Yes we were swingin' 

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' 

(Instrumental) 

(Chorus) 

Now Charlotte's she's a 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
