Settin' the Woods on Fire

(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...
