Walk Like An Egyptian

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance, don't you know?
If they move too quick (oh, uh-ey, 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, uh-ey, oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay, oh, uh-ey, oh, ay, oh, uh-ey, 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, uh-ey, 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, uh-ey, oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay, oh, uh-ey, oh, ay, oh, uh-ey, 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, uh-ey, 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, uh-ey, 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, uh-ey, oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian
All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay, oh, uh-ey, oh, ay, oh, uh-ey, oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
