|
All the old paintings on the tombs
|
|
They do the sand dance, dont you know
|
|
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
|
|
They're falling down like a domino.
|
|
All the bazaar men by the Nile
|
|
They got their money on a bet
|
|
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
|
|
They snap their teeth on your cigarette.
|
|
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say:
|
|
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey 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 whey oh)
|
|
They 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)
|
|
They're walking like an Egyptian.
|
|
All the kids in the market place 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
|
|
They're 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 donut shop say:
|
|
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
|
|
Walk like an Egyptian
|
|
Walk like an Egyptian.
