Well, comb your hair & paintin' powder 
You'll act proud & I'll act prouder 
You'll sing loud & I'll sing louder 
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire 

You're my girl & 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 & 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 2 
My tires & tubes are doin' fine 
But the air is showin' through 

You clap hands & 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
