All the old paintings on the tomb 
They do the sand dance, don'cha know? 
If they move too quick (Oh-Way-Oh) 
They're falling down like a domino 

And the bazaar man by the Nile 
He got the money on a bet 
For the crocodiles (Oh-Way-Oh) 
They snap their teeth on a cigarette 

Foreign types with their hookah pipes sing: 
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo... 
Walk like an Egyptian. 

The blonde waitresses take their trays 
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 

All the kids in the marketplace say: 
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo... 
Walk like an Egyptian. 

Line your feet astreet, bend your back, 
Shift your arm, then you pull a clock 
Like Sergeant O (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 their clock and [bad word] on down the block 

All the Japanese with their Yen 
The party boys call the Kremlin 
The Chinese know (Oh-Way-Oh) 
They walk along like Egyptians 

All the cops in the donut shops say: 
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo... 
Walk like an Egyptian 
Walk like an Egyptian
