[Intro]
B(8 bars)
[Verse 1]
BAll 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
BAll 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
EForeign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
[Chorus]
BWalk like an Egyptian
[Instrumental]
B(8 bars)
[Verse 2]
BThe 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
BAll 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
EAll the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
[Chorus]
BWalk like an Egyptian
[Solo]

B(Whistling)
N.C. (only drums)
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
[Verse 3]
BIf you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
They spin their clubs, cruise down the block
BAll the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian
EAll the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
[Chorus]
BWalk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
[Outro]

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

Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
