Artist: The Bangles Album: Different Light (1985) Title: Walk Like An Egyptian
Lyrics Walk Like An EgyptianAll the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh-wey-oh)
They're falling down like a domino
All the bazaar men by the nile
They got their money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh-wey-oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say:
Ay-oh-wey-oh, ay-oh-wey-oh
Walk like an Egyptian
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh-wey-oh)
They 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-wey-oh)
They're walking like an egyptian
All the kids in the market place say:
Ay-oh-wey-oh, ay-oh-wey-oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Slide your feet up the sreet, bend your back
Shift your arm, then you pull it back
Life is hard, you know
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
If you wanna find all the cops they're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh-wey-oh)
Spin the clubs, cruise down the block
All the Japanese with their Yen
The party boys called the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh-wey-oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian
All the cops in the donut shop say:
Ay-oh-wey-oh, ay-oh-wey-oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
