Down Under
To Kool Chris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
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 my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said
"I come from a land down under
Where rivers does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take 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?"
And he said
"Oh! Do you come from a land down under?"
(Yeah)
"Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover"
Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
(Yeah, yeah)
You better run, you better take cover
Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
(Oh Yeah)
You better run, you better take cover

Travelin' in a fried-out Kombi
I'm driving in a van that's seen better days

Buying bread from a man in Brussels

And he said 'I come from a land down under
He revealed that he too was from Australia
Where rivers does flow and men chunder
He shared a humorous stereotype about the country, where rivers are abundant and men vomit
Lying in a den in Bombay
I found myself in a quiet and secluded space in India
With a slack jaw and not much to say
