Down Under
Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band Lyrics

Traveling 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 And she said
I was on a road trip in a worn-out Volkswagen van, heading towards a hippie hotspot when I met a peculiar lady who made me feel uneasy. However, she offered her hospitality and served me breakfast. That's when she asked me:

Do you come from a land down under? Women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover
Do you belong to the southern hemisphere? Where the women radiate beauty and men are fearless? Hear the rumble of an approaching storm? You should hide or run for cover.

Buying bread from a man in Brussels Six foot four and full of muscles I said, "Do you speak my language?" He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich He said
I was purchasing bread from a tall and muscular vendor in Brussels and asked, "Do you understand me?" He grinned and offered me a Vegemite sandwich, then he spoke:

I come from a land down under Beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover
I belong to a land in the southern hemisphere where beer flows endlessly, and men drink till they vomit. I can hear the oncoming storm, and advise you to save yourself and run for cover.

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?" He said
I found myself resting in a lounge in Bombay with a blank expression, unable to speak much. Then, I asked the host, "Are you testing my willpower? Don't forget, I'm from a land of plenty." He replied:

Oh! Do you come from a land down under? Women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover
Oh! Do you belong to the land down south? Where women exude radiance and men pillage? Can't you feel the vibrations from the impending storm? You ought to escape and protect yourself.

Do you come from a land down under? Women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover
Do you belong to the southern hemisphere? Where women radiate beauty, and men loot? Hear the rumble of an approaching storm? You should hide or run for cover.

Do you come from a land down under? Women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover
Do you belong to the southern hemisphere? Where women emit radiance and men rob? Hear the thundering storm? You must flee or take refuge.
