Song Lyrics

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

Hmm, 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

Fred Rose, Ed Sr. Nelson
