Walk Like an Egyptian Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don't you know?
If they move too quick (Oh-eh-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-eh-oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

[Chorus: Vicki Peterson]
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Eh-oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
Walk like an Egyptian

[Verse 2]
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (Oh-eh-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-eh-oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian

[Chorus]
All the kids in the marketplace say
(Eh-oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
[Bridge]
Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm, then you pull it back
Life is hard, you know (Oh-eh-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-eh-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-eh-oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian

[Chorus]
All the cops in the donut shop say
(Eh-oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
