Travelling 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"
  Yeah

Lyin' 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? (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."

  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

  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

  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

  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
