All the old paintings on the tomb 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 a cigarette Foreign types with their hookah pipes say Ay oh whey oh, whey oh whey oh Walk like an Egyptian [short instrumental interlude] 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 market place say Ay oh whey oh, whey oh whey oh Walk like an Egyptian [instrumental interlude] [whistles] Slide your feet up the street bend your back shift your arm then you pull it back Life's hard, you know oh whey oh so strike a pose on a cadillac If you wanna find all the cops they're hanging out in the donut shops They sing and dance oh whey oh they spin the club 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 an Egyptian All the cops in the donut shops say Ay oh whey oh, whey oh whey oh Walk like an Egyptian Walk like an Egyptian [instrumental ending]
