Yes I know the song!
And now the lyrics!
I wasn't sure if it were a vegemite advert or something that had been shown in the US and Aus...

Ok this was mainly to satisfy my own curiosity but...
Traveling 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 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 better run, you better take cover."
Lying 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! 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."
