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 fireYou're my gal and I'm your feller
Dress up in my frock and yeller
I'll look swell but you'll look sweller
Settin' the woods on fireWe'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 doneI don't care who thinks we're silly
You'll be daffy and I'll be dilly
We'll order up two bowls of chili
Settin' the woods on fireI'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 fireWe'll sit close to one another
Up one street and down the other
We'll have a time oh brother
Settin' the woods on fireWe'll put aside a little time
To fix a flat or two
My tyres and tubes are doin' fine
But the air is showin' throughYou 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
