Down Under Songtext
von 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

"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, brother?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich


"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?"

He said "Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (Ooh 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"

We are living in the 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
