Lyrics for Settin' The Woods On Fire

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 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 Settin' 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 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 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 howlin' We'll do all the law's allowin' Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin' Settin' the woods on fire
