All the old paintings on the tomb They do the sand dance don'cha know If they move too quick (Oh-Way-Oh) They're falling down like a domino And the bazaar man by the Nile He got the money on a bet For the crocodiles (Oh-Way-Oh) They snap their teeth on a cigarette Foreign types with their hookah pipes sing Way-oh-way-oh way-ooo-aaa-ooo Walk like an Egyptian The blonde waitresses take their trays Spin around and they cross 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 bands When the buzzer rings (Oh-Way-Oh) They're walking like an Egyptian All the kids in the marketplace say Way-oh-way-oh way-ooo-aaa-ooo Walk like an Egyptian Slide your feet a street bend your back Shift your arm then you pull a clock Like Sergeant O (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 their clock and cruise on down the block All the Japanese with their Yen The party boys call the Kremlin The Chinese know (Oh-Way-Oh) They walk along like Egyptians All the cops in the donut shops say Way-oh-way-oh way-ooo-aaa-ooo Walk like an Egyptian Walk like an Egyptian
