VERSE 1:
Traveling in a fried-out Kombie
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
CHORUS A:
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
VERSE 2:
Buying bread from a man in - Brussels
He was - six foot four - and full of muscle
I said, do you speak-a my language?
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite - sandwich - and he said
CHORUS B:
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
VERSE 3:
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!
OUTRO CHORUS:
Living in - 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
