Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Travelin' 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
[Verse 2]
And she said
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Buyin' bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak my language, brother?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
[Verse 5]
He said
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Lyin' in a den in Bombay
With a slack-jaw and not a lot to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
[Verse 8]
He said, "Oh
[Verse 9]
Do you come from a land down under?"
Oh yeah, yeah
Women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover
Livin' in a land down under
Oh yeah, yeah
Women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover
