All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don't you know?
If they move too quick (Oh-way-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-way-oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette.

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say!
(Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh)
Walk like an Egyptian.

The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (Oho-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 the 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 want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (Oh-way-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-way-oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian.

All the cops in the donut shop say
(Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh)
Walk like an Egyptian (2×).
