 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?
  Where women glow and men plunder?
  Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
  You better run, you better take cover."
