Walk like an Egyptian

The Bangles

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 their money on a bet.
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
they snap their teeth on your cigarette.

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say:
Ay 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 market place say:
Ay 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 an Egyptian.

All the cops in the donut shop say:
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh.
Walk like an Egyptian,
Walk like an Egyptian.
