Livin' in a land down under
You better run, you better take cover", yeah
I said, "Do you speak my language?"
And he said, "I come from a land down under
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
Where women glow and men plunder
Where beer does flow and men chunder
'Cause we are livin' in a land down under
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
And she said, "Do you come from a land down under?
Can't you, can't you hear the thunder?
"Where women glow and men plunder?
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
Then I run and then I take cover
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?"
Then I run then I take cover
(Thunder)
Where women glow and men plunder
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
(Ooh yeah)
You better run, you better take cover
(Oh)
(Oh yeah, yeah)
Livin' in a land down under
And he said, "Oh, you come from a land down under?"
Where women glow and men plunder
And he took me in and gave me breakfast
You better run, you better take cover"
"You better run, you better take cover"
(Yeah)
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
(Yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
He was six foot four and full of muscle
We are livin' in a land down under
Dying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw and not much to say
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
