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 settin' the woods on fire



You're my gal and I'm your feller

Dress up in your frock and yeller

I'll look swell but you'll look sweller

Settin' the woods on fire



We'll take in all the honky tonks

Tonight we're havin' fun

We'll show the folks a brand new dance

That never has been done



Well, I don't care who thinks we're silly

You'll be daffy and I'll be dilly

Order up two bowls of chili

Settin' the woods on fire



Hmm, I'll gas up my hot rod stoker

We'll get hotter than a poker

You'll be broke but I'll be broker

Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire



We'll sit close to one another up our street

And down the other

We'll have us a time, oh brother

Settin' the woods on fire



We'll put aside a little time

To fix a flat or two

My trey and tubes are doin' fine

The air's showin' through



You clap hands and I'll start bowin'

We'll do all the law's allowin'

Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin'

Settin' the woods on fire
