By the way, here are the lyrics to the song:

Travelling in a fired-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'd better run, you'd better take cover!"

Buying bread from a man in brussels
Well, 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'd better run, you'd better take cover, yeahh!"

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK!

Dying 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, so you come from a land down under?"
"Yeah, yeah!"
"Where women glow and men plunder!
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
Oh, ohhh!
You'd better run, you'd better take cover!" 'Cause we are:

Livin' in, a land down under!
Where women GLOW and men PLUNDER?
Yeah, yeah!
Hear that thunder?
You'd better run,you'd better take cover! x4
END OF SONG
Thank you, thank you! It took one day to memorise that cause I have a photographic memory! (But sometimes, my photographicalness sucks. ;P)

Men At Work Facts:
Men At Work's first single was 'Keypunch Operator', released in 1980 and making little impact. Another single titled 'Down Under' was a limited release and sold only at the band's gigs in Melbourne. The original version of 'Down Under' was recorded at a slow pace and showed no commercial potential whatsoever. After being re-recorded and re-released, the single became an international hit; thus, making the little known Melbourne band an international fad.
