[Verse]
A#
All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don'cha know?
A#
If they move too quick (Oh-Way-Oh)
They're falling down like a domino
[Verse]
A#
And the bazaar man by the Nile
He got the money on a bet
A#
Gold crocodiles (Oh-Way-Oh)
They snap their teeth on a cigarette
[Chorus]
D#
Foreign types with their hookah pipes sing:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo
A#~
Walk like an Egyptian.
[Interlude]
A#
[Verse]
A#
The blonde waitresses take their trays
Spin around and they cross the floor.
A#
They've got the moves (Oh-Way-Oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more
[Verse]
A#
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
A#
When the buzzer rings (Oh-Way-Oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
[Chorus]
D#
ll the kids in the marketplace say:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo
A#~
Walk like an Egyptian.

Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
(
A#)
Life's short you know (Oh-Way-Oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
[Verse]
A#
If you want to find all the cops,
They're hanging out in the donut shop.
A#
They sing and dance (Oh-Way-Oh)
They spin their clock and cruise down the block
[Verse]
A#
All the Japanese with their Yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
A#
And the Chinese know (Oh-Way-Oh)
They walk along like Egyptians
[Chorus]
D#
All the cops in the donut shops say:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo...
A#
Walk like an Egyptian
