Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervousShe 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 muscleI 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, yeah"
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", 'cause we are
Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder (yeah)
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
(Thunder)You better-better run, you better take cover
Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
Ooh, yeahYou better run, you better take cover
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you, can't you hear the thunder?
(Can't you, can't you hear the thunder?)
You better run, you better take cover
Living in a land down under (living in a land down under)
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you, can't you hear the thunder?

Down Under lyrics © Emi Songs Australia Pty Limited, Emi Songs Australia Pty Lt
C.: Hey, d.c., what are you doing?
d.: I’m listening to some tunes about vegetable while I work on my project for my class.
C.: What does that song have to do with vegetables?
d.: They talk about eating a vegemite sandwich.
C.: And, what exactly is a vegemite sandwich, and what does it have to do with math?
d.: It doesn’t have anything to do with math. This is my project for my other class, and it counts on-third of my final grade.
And vegemite is made of a bunch of vegetables. Of course, when one puts it between two buttered pieces of white bread, it kind of destroys the benefit of eating all those vegetables. I'm texting you a picture of a vegemite sandwich now.
C.: I thought your project involved green beans. Does vegemite have any green beans in it?
d.: I don’t think so.
C.: Then what does that song have to do with your project?
d.: It’s about vegetables. Look, this blog is called “Cal.E.’s Korner, but it isn’t always about you. It’s about your corner of the universe and what’s going on in it.
C.: Yes, well, if you need help with your math homework, just ask the supreme ruler of this corner of the universe for help.
d.: The what now?
C.: Er.. nothing. I was just making a joke. I need to make a call to…my friend now. (I forgot that Meow Z. Tongue wanted me to send him reports telepathically every week, or he would come back to Earth, take all it’s resources and destroy the planet.)
So, that’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner
