Chords and lyrics for Walk Like An Egyptian - album/single by The Bangles (key of B).

Intro

[B]

Verse 1

[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

Verse 2

[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]

Verse 3

[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
