All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't 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 the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette


Foreign types with the hookah pipes say


(Chorus)
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)
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)

They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say


(Repeat Chorus)


Slide your feetup the street bend your back
Shift your arm then pull it back
let the sargent 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

(Repeat Chorus)


Walk like an Egyptian
