On a hippy 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 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,
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?"
Where women glow and men plunder,
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder,
You better run, you better take cover. "
Traveling in a fried-out combie, On a hippy 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 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.
