Comb your hair and 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 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 honkey tonks
Tonight were having fun
We'll show the folks a brand new dance
That never has been done
I don't care who thinks were silly
You'll be Daffy and I'll be Dilly
We'll order up two bowls of chili
Settin' the woods on fire
I'll gas up my hot rod stocker
We'll get hotter than a poker
You'll be broke but Ill be broker
Tonight were settin' the woods on fire
We'll sit close to one another
Up the one street and down the other
We'll have a time o brother
Settin' the woods on fire
Well put aside a little time
To fix a flat or two
My tires and tubes are doing fine
But the air is showing through
You clap hands and I'll start bowing
We'll do all the laws allowin'
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowing
Settin' the woods on fire
