Comb your hair and paint and powder
You sing loud and I'll sing louder
You act proud and I'll be prouder
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire
You're my gal and I'm your feller
Dress up in your frock of 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 having fun
We'll show the folks a brand new dance, that never has been done
I don't care who thinks we're silly
You'll be daffy, I'll be dilly
We'll order up two bowls of chili
Settin' the woods on fire

Now I'll gas up my hot rod stoker
We'll get hotter than a poker
I'll be broke but I'll be broker
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire
We'll sit close to one another
Up one street and down the other
We'll have a time, oh brother
Settin' the woods on fire
We'll put aside a little time to fix a flat or two
Well the tires and tubes are doin' swell but the air is showin' through
I'll clap hands and you'll start howlin'
We'll do all the law's allowin'
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin'
Settin' the woods on fire
