The Bangles – Walk Like an Egyptian – 1986

    Paroles

    All the old paintings on the tombs
    They do the sand dance don’t you know
    If they move too quick (oh whey 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 whey oh)
    They snap their teeth on your cigarette

    Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
    (Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey 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 whey oh)
    You drop your drink , then they give you more

    All the school kids so sick of books
    They like the punk and the metal band
    When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
    They’re walking like an Egyptian

    All the kids in the marketplace say
    (Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
    Walk like an Egyptian

    Slide your feet up the street bend your back
    Shift your arm then you pull it back
    Life is hard you know (oh whey 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 whey 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 whey oh)
    They walk the line like Egyptian

    All the cops in the donut shop say
    (Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
    Walk like an Egyptian
    Walk like an Egyptian
