[Intro]
B Bb A E
[Verse]
EThere'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 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 Aswingin'
Yes, we were Eswingin'
Little BCharlotte she's as pretty
As the Bangels when they singBb  
I Acan't believe I'm out here
On the front porch in this swing
Just a-swiEngin'
[Solo]
  E    E    E    Ex2
[Chorus]
And we were Aswingin'
Yes, we were Eswingin'
Little BCharlotte she's as pretty
As the Bangels when they singBb  
I Acan't believe I'm out here
On the front porch in this swing
Just a-swiEngin'
[Verse]
ENow 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
[Chorus]
And just a sAwingin'
Uh, just a Eswingin'
Little BCharlotte she's as pretty
As the Bangels when they singBb  
I Acan't believe I'm out here
On her front porch in this swing
Just a-swiEngin'
[Turnaround]
I said Little BCharlotte she's as pretty
As the Bangels when they singBb  
I Acan't believe I'm out here
On her front porch in this swing
Just a-swiEngin'

[Intro]

B Bb A E

[Verse]

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 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

B Bb

As the angels when they sing

I can't believe I'm out here

On the front porch in this swing

Just a-swingin'

[Solo]

E E E E

[Chorus]

And we were swingin'

Yes, we were swingin'

Little Charlotte she's as pretty

B Bb

As the angels when they sing

I can't believe I'm out here

On the front porch in this swing

Just a-swingin'

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]

And just a swingin'

Uh, just a swingin'

Little Charlotte she's as pretty

B Bb

As the angels when they sing

I can't believe I'm out here

On her front porch in this swing

Just a-swingin'

[Turnaround]

I said Little Charlotte she's as pretty

B Bb

As the angels when they sing

I can't believe I'm out here

On her front porch in this swing

Just a-swingin'
