Lyrics
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 bring 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 wanna 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

Walk Like An Egyptian Meanings & Lyrics Discussion
paul117505 discusses the meanings of Walk Like An Egyptian lyrics: Usually, I'm impressed by the comments here but nobody got it right on this song in my humble opinion. This song is about two c0-related themes. One, kids having discovered the fraud that is the standard life program that they are walking arms akimbo, trying to maintain their balance while walking. The other is, again, trying to maintain balance while walking as you party with the people that have money. Again in disregard, and often drunk, but ostensibly getting paid well.. There's one part I did not get and i came here, hoping to get it explained. 'the party boys call the Kremlin".
