"Down Under" lyrics by Benjamin Newman ttto: "Down Under" by Colin Hay and Ron Stryker / Am G Am FG / / / / I'd been lost in the woods for hours On a hippie trail, hands full of flowers I met a strange man, he made me nervous He took me in and gave me breakfast And he said... / C G Am FG / / / / I come from the land down under Of which the world can but wonder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? We'd better run, we'd better take cover Hey, I should go or my mom will miss me And don't you even think of trying to kiss me Don't you know the way to a girl's heart? He just smiled and gave me a pomegranate poptart And he said... Won't you come to the land down under And witness all of its wonders? I know you can't stay much longer You'd better run home to your mother Even so, if you find me pleasin' You could visit me in another season I said to the man are you trying to tempt me? Because I come from the land of plenty And he said... If you lived in the land down under You'd outshine all of its wonders You'd turn my winter to summer My realm would be yours to discover Be my queen in the land down under Reign over souls beyond number And when you go home to your mother You'll wake the world from its slumber
