You better run, _____ she made me nervous
Buying bread from _____ down under
He was six-foot-four _____ speak-a my language?ī
I said, īDo you _____ and full of muscles
He just smiled and gave me _____ the thunder?
And he said...
īI come from a land _____ take coverī
Where beer does flow and _____ a vegemite sandwich

You better run, you better _____ men chunder
