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
