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
