Well, comb your hair and paintin' powder You'll act proud and I'll act prouder You'll sing loud and I'll sing louder Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire You're my girl and I'm your fella Dress up in your proper yello' I'll look swell but you'll look sweller We're settin' the woods on fire We'll be takin' all the high school hops Tonight we're havin' fun We're gonna show the gang a brand new dance That never has been done I don't care if they thinks we're silly You be daffy, I'll be dilly Want you to be my sweet sweet filly We're settin' the woods on fire I'll gas up my hot rod Stoker
The band will play hot as a polka You'll be broke, 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 will have the time of 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 law's allowin' I hope your daddy don't start growlin' Settin' the woods on fire Settin' the woods on fire Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire
