Men at work – Down Under

 

 

I am still at work now at 1:30 am on Sunday Valentine’s day.

Here is a song of Men At Work, which I loved very much in 80s’.

I  did not know the word ”vegemite” then. You have no idea how crazy it drove me that time.

I was in Yokohama, good old time Yokohama where beer did flow and men chunder.

 

 

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.”

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? (oh 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.”
