Here's Homer & Jethro's parody:

SETTIN' THE WOODS ON FIRE
As sung by Homer & Jethro on "The Very Best Of" (2010)

You get a dime an' I'll get a dollar.
I'll put on my high stiff collar.
We'll go down to Hootin' Holler.
Tonight we're a-settin' the woods on fire.
I'm a-gonna wear my new straw hat an'
You can wear your dress of satin,
'Cause we're gonna go tom-cattin',
Settin' the woods on fire.
I'll try to kiss the waitress while we're waitin' for our chow.
Look out for flyin' saucers cause she's a-gonna throw one now.
I'll be John an' you be Mary.
Mary, don't be so contrary.
I feel so unnecessary,
A-settin' the woods on fire.

What's that perfume that you wear?
Ain't no wonder people stare.
Smells just like the old gray mare.
Tonight we're a-settin' the woods on fire.
If you get to feelin' flustered,
We'll go eat some frozen custard.
You're too old to cut the mustard,
Settin' the woods on fire.
We'll play a game called pony express while we paint the town.
It's just like post office with a little more horsin' aroun'.
We can't sing and we ain't funny.
Buy this record, won't you, honey?
Poor ol' Victor needs the money,
Settin' the woods on fire.
