Walk Like An Egyptian
The Bangles
[Intro w/ Kazoo]
[A] [A] [A] [A]
[Verse 1]
[A] All the old paintings on the tombs, [A] They do the sand dance don't you know
[A] If they move too quick (oh whey oh), [A] They're falling down like a domino
[A] All the bazaar men by the Nile, [A] They got the mon-ey on a bet
[A] Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh), [A] They snap their teeth on your cigarette
|[Chorus]
|[D] Foreign types in the hooka pipes say [D] Ay oh whey oh oh,
|[D] ay oh whey o-[D]-oooooh
|[A*] Walk like an Egyptian [A*]
[Instrumental w/ Kazoo]
[A] [A] [A] [A]
[Verse 2]
[A] The blonde waitresses take their trays, [A] They spin around and they cross the floor
[A] They've got the moves (oh whey oh), [A] You drop your drink then they bring you more
[A] All the school kids so sick of books, [A] They like the punk and the metal band
[A] When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh), [A] They're walking like an Egyptian
|[Chorus]
|[D] All the kids in the marketplace say, [D] Ay oh whey oh oh,
|[D] ay oh whey o-[D]-oooooh
|[A*] Walk like an Egyptian [A*]
[Bridge w/ whistling, single strum]
[A*] [A*] [A*] [A*]
[Bridge w/ Scratching]
[NC] Slide your feet up the street bend your back, [NC] Shift your arm then you pull it back
[NC] Life is hard you know (oh whey oh), [NC] So strike a pose on a Cadillac
[Verse 4]
[A] If you want to find all the cops, [A] They're hanging out in the donut shop
[A] They sing and dance (oh whey oh), [A] Spin the clubs cruise down the block
[A] All the Japanese with their yen, [A] The party boys call the Kremlin
[A] And the Chinese know (oh whey oh), [A] They walk the line like Egyptian
|[Chorus]
|[D] All the cops in the doughnut shop say, [D] Ay oh whey oh oh,
|[D] ay oh whey o-[D]-oooooh
|[A*] Walk like an Egyptian [A*]
|[A*] Walk like an Egyptian [A*]
[Outro w/ Kazoo]
[A] [A] [A] [A]
