Lyrics
I met a man in Silverlake Ca.
He was a shy boy a sly boy and lazy
He was not from this land but here he stays
Abusing laws his cause were all crazy
Now when you think about your homeboys, hangin out
You don't want someone runnin at the mouth
You talk to Leo, talk to Frank
They'll all tell you that the boy is really wanked
He's the wanker from down under
A girly man without a thunder
Just a wanker from down under
His tiny wit will bring him blunder
He thought his ground was golden sacred too
Talked like a backwoods fool without a clue
When the police came 'round he got his due
They sent his butt back to the Toranga Zoo
Now I've got other Aussie brothers
They're all cool; it's just this one chum, a real tool
A full on psycho, head in the clouds
Let's hear you one time help me sing it loud
He's the wanker from down under
A girly man without a thunder
Just a wanker from down under
His tiny wit will bring him blunder
