Comb your hair and paint and powder

You act proud and I'll act prouder

You sing loud and I'll sing louder

Tonight we're setting the woods on fire



You my gal and I'm your feller

Dress up in your frock of yeller

You'll look swell honey, but I'll look sweller

Setting the woods on fire



We'll take in all the honky tonks

Tonight we're having fun

I'll show the folks a brand new dance

That never has been done



Hey, look a here baby

Everything is fine

Gonna sip up a little of wine

Gonna make a little doggone time

Setting the woods on fire



You'll gas up my hot rod stocker

We'll get hotter than a poker

I'll be broke and you'll be broker

Tonight we're setting the woods on fire



We'll sit close to one another

Up the one street and down the other

We'll have a time o brother

Setting the woods on fire



We'll set aside a little time

To fix a flat or two

My tires and tubes are doing fine

But the air is showing through



We'll sit close to one another

Up the one street and down the other

We'll have a time o brother

Setting the woods on fire
