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 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 Charlette feelin love down to my toes
|
|
Chorus
|
|
And we were swingin'
|
Yes we were swingin'
|
Little Charlette 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 Charlette'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 Charlette is my lover and she has been since the spring
|
I just can't believe it started on her front porch
|
|
in this swing
|
