[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
