Lyrics Men At Work – Down Under
Text:
Travelling in a fried-out Kombi
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 muscle
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)
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 (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.»
