Down Under Lyrics - Man At Work - Colin Hay

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
