Walk Like an Egyptian Lyrics


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 dominoAll the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles, oh, whey, oh
They snap their teeth on your cigaretteForeign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay, oh, whey, oh
Ay, oh, whey, oh
Walk like an EgyptianThe blond 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 moreAll 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 EgyptianAll the kids in the marketplace say
Ay, oh, whey, oh
Ay, oh, whey, oh

Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an EgyptianSlide 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 CadillacIf 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 blockAll the cops in the donut shop say
Ay, oh, whey, oh
Ay, oh, whey, oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian

The Puppini Sisters are a musical trio based in England specializing in 1940s-style close harmony vocal music. Composed of Italian Marcella Puppini, English Stephanie O'Brien and Kate Mullins, their sound has been described as "swing-punk," as it is louder and more in-your-face than traditional swing music. The girls are quipped to have "harmonies so tight you could bounce a baby off them".

The group was founded in 2004 by Puppini after she was inspired by the 2003 animated film Les Triplettes de Belleville. The Puppini Sisters' debut single, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", is a cover of the iconic hit single by The Andrews Sisters, and although the three are not actually related, they named themselves in tribute to them.

Puppini first studied fashion design at St. Martins School of Art, and later music at Trinity College of Music where she met O'Brien and Mullins. The Sisters are currently supported by a three-piece band featuring the talents of Martin Kolarides on guitar, Henry Tyler on drums/percussion and Nick Pini on upright bass.

The Puppini Sisters won a Gold Disc for international sales of their first CD, Betcha Bottom Dollar, in 2007. According to their official website, the album reached #2 on the US Jazz Charts and #9 on the US New Artist Chart.

Their second album The Rise & Fall of Ruby Woo was released on October 15th 2007, featuring classic covers, 1940s style reworkings of contemporary music, and a selection of original compositions. According to Billboard's official website, the album peaked at #5 in the US Jazz Charts in 2008.

The Puppini Sisters' retro-styled website won the 2008 Cream of Yorkshire awards "Gold Award" for best website.
