Traveling in a fried-out combie
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?
(Yeah)
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 muscles
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?
(Yeah)
You better run, you better take cover", yeahLying 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"Do you come from a land down under?
(Yeah, yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
(Yeah)
You better run, you better take cover"Living in a land down under
(Yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
(Yeah)
You better run, you better take coverLiving in a land down under
(Yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
(Yeah)
You better run, you better take cover
(Yeah)
