(Liam Sternberg)

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
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
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

(Guitare solo)

Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm then pull it back
Life's hard you know, 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
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian, walk like an Egyptian.
