walk like an egyptian

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

ay-oh-way-oh

way-oh

walk like an egyptian

the 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

ay-oh-way-oh

way-oh

walk like an egyptian

slide your feet up the street

bend your back

you 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

foreign types with the hookah pipes say

ay-oh-way-oh

way-oh

walk like an egyptian

walk like an egyptian

walk like an egyptian

walk like an egyptian
