LYRICS:

Travelling 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

For some reason or another, this song has been stuck in our heads for almost five months. We can't tell you exactly when or how it started, but the line "Do you speak-a my language?" kept popping into our heads during all our encounters with foreign languages. The song reached its peak annoying-ness while we were in Brussels (see lyrics below). Since we finally made it to the land down under, we thought we'd give you the opportunity to get it stuck in your head.  And yes, they do speak-a our language. Sort of. LAND DOWN UNDERby Men at WorkTraveling in a fried-out combieOn a hippie trail, head full of zombieI met a strange lady, she made me nervousShe took me in and gave me breakfastAnd 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 BrusselsHe was six foot four and full of musclesI said, "Do you speak-a my language?"He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwichAnd he said,"I come from a land down underWhere beer does flow and men chunderCan't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?You better run, you better take cover."Lying in a den in BombayWith a slack jaw, and not much to sayI said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt meBecause 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."

It's a very-very funny song from the 8O's. I love it.
It always makes me happy.

Land down under = Australie
Il fallait bien que nous vous mettions LA chanson de notre nouveau pays...: )
Enjoy and have fun.

One of their best songs! ;-)
