Traveling in a fr ied-out combi e
On a hippie tra il, head full of zomb ie
I met a strange la dy, she made me nervou s
She took me in a nd gave me breakfast
And s he said,
"Do you come from a lan d down under ?
Where women glow and m en plunder ?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunde r ?
You better run, y ou better take cove r."
Buying bread from a m an in Brussels
He was six foot f our and full of m uscles
I said, "Do you s peak-a my langua ge ?"
He just smiled and ga ve me a vegemite sandwich
And h e said,
"I come from a l and down under
Where beer does flo w and men chunder
Can't you hear, c an't you hear the thunde r
You better run, y ou better take cove r."
Lying in a d en in Bombay
With a slack jaw, a nd not much to say
I said to the man, " Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come fro m the land of plenty ? "
And h e said
" Oh ! Do you come from a l and down under ? (oh yeah yeah )
Where women glow and me n plunder ?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunde r ?
You better run, y ou better take cove r."
