All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance
Don't you know?If they move too quick
They're falling down like a dominoAll the bazaar men by the Nile
He got the money on a betFor the crocodiles they snap their teeth
On your cigaretteForeign types with their hookah pipes say
Walk like an EgyptianThe blond waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They got the moves
You drop your drink then they bring you moreAll the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings
They're walking like an EgyptianAll the kids in the marketplace say
Walk like an EgyptianSlide your feet up the street
Bend your back
Shift your arm and then you pull it backLife is hard you know
So strike a pose on a CadillacIf you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance
Spin the clubs cruise down the blockAll the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know
They walk the line like EgyptianAll the cops in the donut shop say
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
