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
