Bangles – Walk like an Egyptian Lyric

All the old paintings on the tomb
they do the sand dance don't you know
if you move to quick
they're falling down like a domino

All the bazar man by the nile
they got their money on a bet
gold crocodiles
they snap their teeth on their cigarette

Foreign types with their hookah pipes say
walk like an Egyptian

The blonde waitresses take their trays
they spin around and they cross the floor
they've got the moves
you drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
they like the punk and the metal bands
when the buzzer rings
they're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet astreet 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
they spin their clock cruise down the block

All the Japanese with their Yen
the party boys call the Kremlin
and the Chinese know
they walk the line like Egyptian

All the cops in the donut shops say
walk like an Egyptian
walk like an Egyptian
