I'll gas up my hot rod stocker 
We'll get hotter than a poker 
You'll be broke but I'll be broker 
Tonight we're setting the woods on fire 
 
We'll sit close to one another 
Up the one street and down the other 
We'll have us A time oh brother 
Setting the woods on fire 
 
         We'll put aside a little time 
         To fix a flat or two 
         My tires and tubes are doing fine 
         But the air is showing through 
 
 
You clap hands and I'll start bowing 
We'll do all the laws allowin' 
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowing 
Setting the woods on fire
