Well swingin' on the front porch swingin' on the lawn Swingin' where we want 'cause there ain't nobody home Swingin' to the left and swingin' to the right If I think about baseball I'll swing all night yeah Swingin' in the living room swingin' in the kitchen Most folks don't 'cause they're too busy bitchin' Swingin' in there 'cause she wanted me to feed her So I mixed up the batter and she licked the beater I scream you scream we all scream for her Don't even try 'cause you can't ignore her She's my cherry pie Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise Tastes so good make a grown man cry Sweet cherry pie oh yeah She's my cherry pie Put a smile on your face ten miles wide Looks so good bring a tear to you eye Sweet cherry pie yeah Swingin' to the drums swingin' to guitar Swingin' to the bass in the back of my car Ain't got money ain't got no gas But we'll bet where we're goin' if we swing real fast Swingin' in the bathroom swingin' on the floor Swingin' so hard we forgot to lock the door In walks her daddy standin' six foot four He said you ain't gonna swing with my daughter no more
