All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don't you know?
If they move too quick
They're falling down like a domino
All the bars are men by the nile
They got their money on a bet
Called crocodiles
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Foreign dives with the hookah pipes, say
Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Lawn witresses take their trays And spin around and across the floor
They've got the moves,
oh way-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 way-oh They're walking like an Egyptian
All the kids in the market,
they say Way-oh,
way-oh,
way-oh,
way-oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Slight beat up the street,
bend your back Shift your arm and you pull it back Life is hard,
you know,
oh way-oh
So strike a pose on a Cadillac If you wanna find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop They sing and dance,
oh way-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 way-oh They walk the line like Egyptian
All the cops in the donut shop say Way-oh,
way-oh,
way-oh,
way-oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
