There's a little boy in our neighborhood
His name is Charlie Jackson and he's really looking good
I had to go and see him, so I called him on the phone
I walked over to his house and this was going on

His brother was on the sofa, eating chocolate pie
His momma was in the kitchen cutting chicken up to fry
His daddy was in the backyard, rolling up a garden hose
I was on the porch with Charlie feeling love down to my toes

And we were swingin' 
Oh yeah, we were swingin' 
Yeah, little Charlie, he's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on this front porch in this swing
Just a swingin' 

Now little Charlie, he's my darling, he's the apple of my eye
Yeah, when I'm on the swing with him, it makes me almost high
And Charlie, he's my loverman and he has been since the spring
I just can't believe it started on this front porch in this swing

Just a swingin'
Oh yeah, now we were swingin'
Yeah, little Charlie, he's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on this front porch in this swing
Just a swingin' 

On the sofa, eating chocolate pie
In the kitchen cutting chicken up to fry
In the backyard rolling up a garden hose
Yeah, feeling that love down to my toes

Yeah, he's the apple of my eye
When I'm with him, it makes me almost high
He's been here since the spring
On the front porch on this swing

Just a swingin'
Oh yeah, we were swingin'
Well, we were swingin'
Oh, now we were swingin'

Yeah, little Charlie, he's as pretty as the angels really sing
I can't believe I'm out here on this front porch in this swing, yeah

Just a-swingin'
Mmm, swingin'
