Setting 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 setting the woods on fire
You're my girl and I'm your feller
Dress up in my frock and yellow
You look swell, honey but you'll look sweller
Setting the woods on fire
We'll take in every honky tonks
Tonight we're having fun
I'll show the folks a brand new dance
Never been has been done
It will look and he'll be the everything is fine
Gonna sip up on a little wine
Gonna make a little dub on time
Setting the woods on fire
You can get your self my hot rod stoker
We'll get hotter than a poker
I'll be broke, and I'll be broker
Tonight we're setting 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
Setting the woods on fire
We'll set aside a little time
To fix a flat or two
My tyre's and tubes are doing fine
But the air is showing through
We'll sit close to one another
Up one street and down the other
We'll have a time oh brother
Setting the woods on fire
You act proud and I'll act prouder
You sing loud and I'll sing louder
Tonight we're setting the woods on fire
You're my girl and I'm your feller
Dress up in my frock and yellow
You look swell, honey but you'll look sweller
Setting the woods on fire
We'll take in every honky tonks
Tonight we're having fun
I'll show the folks a brand new dance
Never been has been done
It will look and he'll be the everything is fine
Gonna sip up on a little wine
Gonna make a little dub on time
Setting the woods on fire
You can get your self my hot rod stoker
We'll get hotter than a poker
I'll be broke, and I'll be broker
Tonight we're setting 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
Setting the woods on fire
We'll set aside a little time
To fix a flat or two
My tyre's and tubes are doing fine
But the air is showing through
We'll sit close to one another
Up one street and down the other
We'll have a time oh brother
Setting the woods on fire
