A All the old paintings on the tombs G A They do the sand dance donʼt you know A If they move too quick (oh whey oh) G A Theyʼre falling down like a domino All the bazaar men by the Nile They got the money on a bet Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh) They snap their teeth on your cigarette D Foreign types with the hookah pipes say Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh A Walk like an Egyptian The blonde waitresses take their trays They spin around and they cross the floor Theyʼve got the moves (oh whey 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 whey oh) Theyʼre walking like an Egyptian All the kids in the marketplace say Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh Walk like an Egyptian Slide your feet up the street bend your back Shift your arm then you pull it back Life is hard you know (oh whey oh) So strike a pose on a Cadillac If you want to find all the cops Theyʼre hanging out in the donut shop They sing and dance (oh whey oh) Spin the clubs cruise down the block All the Japanese with their yen The party boys call the Kremlin And the Chinese know (oh whey oh) They walk the line like Egyptian All the cops in the doughnut shop say Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh Walk like an Egyptian Walk like an Egyptian
