Comb your hair, paint and powder You act proud, and I'll act prouder You sing loud, and I'll sing louder Tonight were settin' the woods on fire You're my gal and I'm your feller Put on your new dress 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 havin' fun Show the folks a brand new dance That never has been done Well I don't care who thinks we're silly You be daffy I'll be dilly Well order up two bowls of chili Settin' the woods on fire
I'll gas up my hot-rod stroker We'll get hotter than a poker You'll be broke but I'll be broker Tonight were settin' the woods on fire Well sit close to one another Up one street and down the other We'll have us a time, oh brother Settin' the woods on fire
Put a little time to fix a flat or two Tires of two are doin' fine but the air is showing through You clap hands and I'll start countin' We'll do all the laws allowin' Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin' Settin' the woods on fire Settin' the woods on fire
