Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don't you know?
If they move too quick (Oh-way-oh)
They're fallin' down like a domino
[Verse 2]
All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (Oh-way-oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
[Chorus]
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say (Way-oh-way-oh, oh-way-oh-way-oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
[Verse 3]
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (Oh-oh-way-oh)
You drop your drink, then they bring you more
[Verse 4]
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (Oh-way-oh)
They're walkin' like an Egyptian
[Chorus]
All the kids in the marketplace say (Way-oh-way-oh, oh-way-oh-way-oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
[Verse 5]
Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm, then you pull it back
Life is hard, you know (Oh-way-oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
[Verse 6]
If you wanna find all the cops
They're hangin' out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (Oh-way-oh)
They spin the club, cruise down the block
[Verse 7]
All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (Oh-way-oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian
[Chorus]
All the cops in the donut shop say (Way-oh-way-oh, oh-way-oh-way-oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
