Charted: 1982+ Peaked at #1 (4 weeks) Columbia -- 03303 Written by C. Hay / R. Strykert From the album "Business As Usual" B-Side "Crazy" 45 RPM -- 3:41
Traveling 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"
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, 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"
