[Chorus]
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
My number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men

[Verse 1]
If you're ever in Memphis
Yeah, take a walk by Minglewood
If you're ever in Memphis
Yeah, take a walk by Minglewood
Hey now, take a walk downtown there
Where all the women sure look good
Wow

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Well, if you can't believe me
Wеll, it make it hard to believе in you
Well, if you can't believe me
Make it hard to believe in you
Hey, 'cause we all need each other
Why? Oh, you know it's true

[Chorus]
Ah, I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
And I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
And my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men
Wow
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Wow, I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
Yeah, I was born in a desert, wow, raised in a lion's den
Yeah, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men
