Lyrics

[Verse 1: Vicki Peterson, All] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Vicki Peterson, All] Foreign types with the hookah pipes say (Way-oh, way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh) [Chorus: Vicki Peterson] Walk like an Egyptian [Verse 2: Michael Steele, All] The blonde waitresses take their trays They spin around, and they cross the floor They've got the moves (Oh-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 [Pre-Chorus: Michael Steele, All] All the kids in the marketplace say (Way-oh, way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh) [Chorus: Michael Steele] Walk like an Egyptian [Guitar solo] [Verse 3: Susanna Hoffs, All] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Susanna Hoffs, All] All the cops in the donut shop say (Way-oh, way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh) [Chorus: Susanna Hoffs] Walk like an Egyptian Walk like an Egyptian
