Walk Like An Egyptian Lyrics By The Bangles

    vicki peterson all
    all the old paintings on the tomb
    they do the sand dance don’t you know
    if they move too quick ohwayoh
    they’re falling down like a domino

    all the bazaar men by the nile
    they got the money on a bet
    gold crocodiles ohwayoh
    they snap their teeth on your cigarette

    foreign types with the hookah pipes say
    wayohwayoh oohwayohwayoh
    walk like an egyptian

    michael steele all
    the blonde waitresses take their trays
    they spin around and they cross the floor
    they’ve got the moves ohwayoh
    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 ohwayoh
    they’re walking like an egyptian

    all the kids in the marketplace say
    wayohwayoh oohwayohwayoh
    walk like an egyptian

    susanna hoffs all
    slide your feet up the street bend your back
    shift your arm then you pull it back
    life is hard you know ohwayoh
    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 ohwayoh
    they spin the clubs cruise down the block

    all the japanese with their yen
    the party boys call the kremlin
    and the chinese know ohwayoh
    they walk the line like egyptian

    all the cops in the donut shop say
    wayohwayoh oohwayohwayoh
    walk like an egyptian
    walk like an egyptian
