(Fred Rose - Ed G. Nelson)

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 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
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 and I'll be dilly
We'll order up two bowls of chili
Settin' the woods on fire.

--- Instrumental ---

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 one 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 tires and tubes are doin' fine
But the air is showin' through.

You clap hands and I'll start bowin'
We'll do all the laws allowin'
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin'
Settin' the woods on fire...
