(Stop) ; x2
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." (Oh Yeah)
(Stop) ; x2
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak my language Brother?"
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 (and women too)
Can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
(Stop) ; x2
Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not a lot 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." (Cause we are)
Repeat 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."
(Stop) ; x4
