Based on “Land Down Under” by the Australian band Men At Work. I wrote it for one of my soccer buddies from Sonoma, California wine country, who is in Iraq right now. It was well received over there.
Traveling in an armored Humvee …
In the hot desert full of bounty …
New Iraqi recruits make me nervous…
Had to stop an' share my breakfas' …
They said “Are you from the wine country? …
Wine and cheese and the big party …
Don't you touch, don't you touch that whisky…
Better go an' call your brother …
Dah da da da da da da da da da da dah… (guitar & flute)
I told the man from Basra …
Don't you ever hurt your sista' …
He said are you trying to change me …
Because I kicked your big red Humvee …
I said “Don't you praise Allah, mullah” …
Or that old ayatollah …
I am from the wine country …
Men are fine, women much better …
Dah da da da da da da da da da da dah… (guitar & flute)
Don't you praise Allah, mullah …
Or that old ayatollah …
I am from the wine country …
Men are fine, women much better …
