DELBERT MCCLINTON
"Settin' The Woods On Fire"
(Ed G. Nelson / Fred Rose)

Comb your hair and paint and powder
You sing loud and I'll sing louder
You be proud and I'll be prouder
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 swell-er
Settin' the woods on fire

[Chorus:]
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 be daffy and I'll be dilly
We'll order up two bowls of chili
Settin' the woods on fire

[Instrumental break]

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 a time, oh, brother
Settin' the woods on fire

[Outro:]
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'
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin'
Settin' the woods on fire
