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 Life's hard you 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
