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
