All the old paintings on the tombs They do the sand dance Don't you know? If they move too quick They're falling down like a domino. All the bazaar men by the Nile They got the money on a bet. Gold crocodiles they snap their teeth On your cigarette. Foreign types with their hookah pipes say Walk like an Egyptian. The blond waitresses take their trays They spin around and they cross the floor They got the moves. 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 They're walking like an Egyptian. All the kids in the marketplace say: Walk like an Egyptian. Slide your feet up the street Bend your back Shift your arm and then you 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 Spin the clubs cruise down the block. All the Japanese with their yen The party boys call the Kremlin And the Chinese know They walk the line like Egyptian. All the cops in the donut shop say: Walk like an Egyptian Walk like an Egyptian
