All the old paintings on the tomb

They do the sand dance, don't you know

If they move too quick (oh way 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 way oh)

They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say

The blonde waitresses take their trays

They spin around and they cross the floor

They've got the moves (oh way 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 way oh)

They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say

Slide your feet up the street

Bend your back

Shift your arm, then you pull it back

Life is hard you know (oh way 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 way 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 way oh)

They walk the line like Egyptian

All the cops in the donut shop say
