[Intro]

Elsewhere in the temple, the llamas are gearing up

To assault Tiger Mountain when the sun comes up

[Verse 1]

We sat around whispering in the candlelight

Trying to get a game plan for the night

Learning about the difference between North and South

Keep your gun in your pocket and your tongue in your mouth

[Chorus]

And you'll be doing it

Doing the things

Doing it

Doing the things

The things you do in Denver when you're dead

[Verse 2]

A month is a Saturday – Wednesday's a week

I saw the way you looked at her Charlie Brown – good grief!

She pulled you into the shadows and taught you how to love

Patted you on the head and gave you a shove

[Chorus]

And you were doing it

Doing the thing

Doing it

Doing the thing

Doing it

Doing the thing

The thing you do in Denver when you're dead

[Verse 3]

The sexual exuberance of a concubine

Checks my carburetor one more time

With the passion of a thoroughbred

And the sensitivity of a moose

I rarely make a move unless I've got some proof

[Chorus]

That I'll be doing it

Doing the thing

Doing it

Doing the thing

Doing it

Doing the thing

The thing you do in Denver when you're dead

[Bridge]

You live in Paris, I live in France

Things are expensive when you live first class

I learn Latin, you learn Greek

When you've got a minute, let's meet in Crete

[Chorus]

And we'll be doing it

Doing the thing

Doing it

Doing the thing

Doing it

Doing the thing

The thing you do in Denver when you're dead

[Outro]

The thing you do in Denver when you're dead

Doing it in Denver when you're dead

Doing it in Denver when you're dead

Doing it in Denver when you're dead
