Walk like an Egyptian.
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.

books they like the punk and the metal band.
When the buzzer rings --
Oh-way-oh! -- they're walking like an Egyptian.

Walk like an Egyptian.
Slide your feet up the street,
bend your back,
Shift your arm then you pull
it back.
Life is hard -- 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! -- spin their 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.
All the cops in the doughnut
shop say: ŇAy-oh! Way-oh! Ay-oh! Way-oh!Ó
Walk like an Egyptian.
