Down Under - Lyrics by Men At Work


Lyrics
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? 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? You better run, you better take cover.
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? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover.
