Down Under Lyrics - Singles - Man At Work

Traveling in a fried-out combie 

On a hippie trail head full of zombie 

I met a strange lady, she made me nervous 

And 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 muscle 

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", yeah 

Dying 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, 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?" 

(Oh) 

"You better run, you better take cover" 

'Cause we are livin' in a land down under 

Where women glow and men plunder 

(Yeah) 

Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? 

(Thunder) 

You better run, you better take cover 

Livin' in a land down under 

Where women glow and men plunder 

Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? 

(Ooh yeah) 

Then I run and then I take cover 

(Yeah) 

We are livin' in a land down under 

Where women glow and men plunder 

Can't you, can't you hear the thunder? 

Then I run then I take cover 

Livin' in a land down under 

(Livin' in a land down under)
