Down Under (Men At Work)

Travelling in a fried-out (ausgebacken) 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 (gl"uhen) and men plunder (pl"undern),
Can't you hear, can't hear the thunder ?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-food-four and full of muscles.
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 over."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack (schlaff) jaw and not much to say.
I said to the man "are you trying to tempt me ?"
Because I come from a land of plenty ?
And he said "Oh !!!!!!...

Do you come from a land down-under ?...
Do you come from a land down-under ?...
Do you come from a land down-under ?...
Do you come from a land down-under ?...
