All the old paintings on the tombs

They do the sand dance

Don't you know

If they move too quick

O well o

They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile

He got the money on a bet

For the crocodiles

O well o they snap their teeth

On your cigarette

Foreign types with their hookah pipes say

Yeah o well o well o well o

Walk like an Egyptian

The blond waitresses take their trays

They spin around and they cross the floor

They got the moves

O well o

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

O well o

They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say

Yeah o well o well o well o

Walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet up the street

Bend your back

Shift your arm and then you pull it back

Life is hard you know

O well o

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

O well o

Spin the clubs cruise down the block

All the Japanese with their yen

The party boys call the Kremlin

And the Chinese know

O well o

They walk the line like Egyptian

All the cops in the donut shop say

Yeah o well o well o well o

Walk like an Egyptian

Walk like an Egyptian
