All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance, don't you know
If they move too quick (oh waay 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 waay oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh waay oh, oh ay oh waay 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 waay 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 waay oh)
They're walking like an egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh waay oh, oh ay oh waay oh..
Walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh waay 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 waay 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 waay oh)
They walk around like Egyptians

All the cops in the donut shop say,
"Ay oh waay oh, oh ay oh waay oh.."
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian..
