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're my gal and I'm your feller
Dress up in your frock and yeller
I'll look swell but you'll look sweller
Setting 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
Setting the woods on fire
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 setting the woods on fire
We'll sit close to one another
Up one street and down the other
We'll have the time, oh brother
Setting the woods on fire
We'll put aside a little time
To fix a flat or two
My trey and tubes are doing fine
But the air is showing through
You clap hands and I'll start howling
We'll do all the law's allowing
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowing
Setting the woods on fire
