We 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 my language?'
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said, 'I come from a land down under
Where beer flows and man chunder.
Can"t you hear, can"t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover'
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
Tie me kangaroo down
Mind me Platapus duck Bill
Mind me platapus duck
Don"t let hem go running a muck, Bill
Just mind me Platapus duck, all together now!
Play me digeridoo blue
Play me digeridoo
Keep playing till I shoot through, blue
Play me digeridoo, all together now!
Tan me hide when I"m dead Fred
Tan me hide when I"m dead
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
And that's it hanging on the shed!
All together now!
Hey True blue, don"t say you"re gone
Say you"ve knocked off for a smoko
And you"ll be back later on, Hey true blue
True blue, is it me and you?
Is it mum and dad? Or a c***atoo?
Is it standing by your mate when he's in a fight?
Of just vegemite?
True blue, true blue
It"s a lonesome away from your kindred and all
By the campfire at night where the wild dingo"s call
There"s nothing so lonesome, so morbid or drear
Than to stand at the bar of a pub with no bear
Well the publican"s anxious for the quota to come
There"s a far away look on the face of the b**
The maid"s gone all cranky and cook"s acting queer
What a terrible place is the pub with no beer
There"s a dog on the veranda, for his master he waits
But the boss is inside, drinking wine with his mates
He hurrys for cover, and he cringes in fear
It"s no place for a dog, round a pub with no beer
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolabah tree
And he sang as he watched
And waited till his billy boiled
'You"ll come a waltzing matilda with me.'
Waltzing matilda, you"ll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
'You"ll come a waltzing matilda with me'
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
