Walk Like an Egyptian

Lyrics

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 falling down like a domino
 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
 Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
 "Way oh-way-oh, way oh-way-oh"
 Walk like an Egyptian
 ♪
 The blonde waitresses take their trays
 They spin around and they cross the floor
 They've got the moves (oh-way-oh)
 You drop your drink, then they bring you more
 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 walking like an Egyptian
 All the kids in the marketplace say
 "Way-oh, way-oh, oh-way, oh-way-oh"
 Walk like an Egyptian
 ♪
 Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
 Shift your arm, then you pull it back
 Life's hard, you know (oh-way-oh)
 So strike a pose on a Cadillac
 If you want to find all the cops
 They're hanging out in the donut shop
 They sing and dance (oh-way-oh)
 They spin the clubs, cruise down the block
 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
 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
 
 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 falling down like a domino
 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
 Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
