(by The Bangles)



All the old paintings on the tombs

They do the sand dance dont you know

If they move too quick (oh whey oh)

Theyre 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

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

Theyve 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)

Theyre walking like an egyptian



All the kids in the marketplace 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

Theyre hanging out in the donut shop

They sing and dance (oh whey oh)

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

Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh

Walk like an egyptian

Walk like an egyptian
