Swingin'

by The Mavericks

on Play the Hits (2019)

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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]
And we were swingin'
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 swing
Just a-swingin'
Just a-swingin'

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Yeah, and we'll be swingin', (Swingin')
Yes, we'll be 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')

[Verse 3]
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, she has been since the spring
I just can't believe it started on her front porch in the swing

[Chorus]
We were swingin' (Prrr)
Just a-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 swing
Just a-swingin'
Just a-swingin'

[Instrumental]

I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch swing
Just a-swingin'
Just a-swingin'

[Outro]
Yeah, we were swingin'
Aw, swingin'
Swingin'
Yeah, we were swingin'
That's all we were doin'
Just a little swingin'
Swingin'
We were swingin'
