Song : F#
Intro:
B

B
All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don'tcha know?
B
If they move too quick Oh-way-oh
They're falling down like a domino

B
All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
B
Gold crocodiles Oh-way-oh
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

E
Foreign types with their hookah pipes sing:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo...
B
Walk like an Egyptian

B
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
B
They've got the moves Oh-way-oh
You drop your drink then they bring you more

B
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
B
When the buzzer rings Oh-way-oh
They're walking like an Egyptian

E
All the kids in the marketplace say:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo...
B
Walk like an Egyptian

Instrumental :
D B D B D B

B
Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
B
Life's hard you know Oh-way-oh
So strike a pose on a Cadillac

B
If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
B
They sing and dance Oh-way-oh
They spin their clubs, cruise down the block

B
All the Japanese with their Yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
B
And the Chinese know Oh-way-oh
They walk the line like Egyptians

E
All the cops in the donut shop say:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo...

B
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
