The song describes traveling through different places and encountering strange people. A strange lady gives the traveler vegemite after asking if he's from a land down under, where women glow and men chunder. He later meets a muscular man in Bombay who gives him a vegemite sandwich and asks the same question about coming from a land down under. The traveler then rests in a den in Brussels and has a conversation with a man about coming from the land of plenty and being tempted to run from the thunder.

Down under song lyrics
1. Down Under
By: Men at work
Traveling in a fried-out ___________
On a hippie trail, head full of __________
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me __________
And she said,
"________ you come from a land down under?
Where women ________ and men _________?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take ________."
Buying bread from a man in _________
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a _________ sandwich
And he said,
"I come from a land down under
Where ________ does flow and men _________
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take __________."
Lying in a den in __________
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you __________
to tempt me, because I come from the
land of ________?" And he said,
"Oh! ________ you come from a land down under?
(oh yeah yeah) Where women ________
and men _________?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take _________."
