Lyrics

Traveling in a fried-out kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said
Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
I said do you speak-a my language
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
And he said
I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover, yeah
Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw and not much to say
I said to the man are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty
And he said
Oh do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover
'Cause we are
Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better-better run, you better take cover
