Down Under Lyrics By Men At Work

    traveling in a friedout 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 sixfootfour and full of muscle
    i said do you speaka my language
    and 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

    lyin’ 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 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 ah
    you better run you better take cover
    living in a land down under
    where women glow and men plunder
    hear thunder can’t you hear can’t you hear the thunder
    you better better run you better take cover
    living in a land down under
    where women glow and men plunder
    can’t you hear can’t you hear the thunder oh yeah
    you better run you better take cover
    living in a land down under oh
    where women glow and men plunder
    yeah yeah can’t you hear can’t you hear the thunder yeah yeah thunder
    you better run you better take cover
