All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don′t ya know?
If you move too quick (oh-way-oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar man by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
All the crocodiles (oh-way-oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with their hookah pipes say
Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh-way-oh
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 band
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-oh-way-oh
Walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet up street, bend your back
Shift your arm, then 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 on 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 shops say
Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh-way-oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
