The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
[ guitar ]
Mhm 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
