* All the old paintings on the tombs
  They do the sand dance don't you know?
  If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
  They're falling down like a domino

  All the bazaar men by the Nile
  They got the money on a bet
  Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
  They snap their teeth on your cigarette

  Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
  (Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
  Walk like an Egyptian

The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey 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 whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
(Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian

※ Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
   Shift your arm then you pull it back
   Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
   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 (oh whey oh)
   They spin the clubs, cruise down the block

   All the Japanese with their yen
   The party boys call the Kremlin
   And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
   They walk the line like Egyptian
   All the cops in the donut shop say
   (Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
   Walk like an Egyptian
