Swingin’ Songtext
von The Mavericks

There′s a little girl in our neighbourhood
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 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

And we were swingin′, mm
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', mm
Just a-swingin'
Ahh, swing it out

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 can't believe it started on her front porch in the swing


We were swingin′
Mm, 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′, mm
Just a-swingin′, oh!

And we were swingin′
Yeah, we were swingin′, mm
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′, mm
Just a-swingin', mm


Yeah, we were swingin′
Aw, swingin'
Mm, swingin'
Yeah, we were swingin′
That′s all we were doin'
Just a little swingin′
Mm, swingin'
We were swingin′
What the kids call it these days?
