Except for the fact it's "down under"

On my bike, fifteen gears by derailleur
I set off on my trip round Australia
But the weather was hot 
Blisters grew on my bot
So the journey became quite a failure

But there’s some things that just make me wonder
If Australian men are so brash over here
Are they really that cocky down under?
