"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,"

5. What does 'in brussels' mean?
6. Is speak-a short for 'speak of'?

Thanks

Brussels is the name of a city. speak -a - just means speak. It might just be 'a' to get the rythmn right, or maybe it's a joke way of expressing how monoglot English speakers sometimes try to speak to others.
