A
All the old paintings on the tombs
G A
They do the sand dance don't you know
A
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
D A
They're falling down like a domino
A
All the bazaar men by the Nile
G A
They got the money on a bet
A
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
G A
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
D
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
D
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
A
Walk like an Egyptian
-- THE SAME CHORDS THE REST OF THE SONG --
Blond waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink and they give 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
Ay 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 want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
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
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian

The opening lyrics state, "All the old paintings on the tombs/They do the sand dance don't you know". The reference to the sand dance possibly refers to a music hall routine performed by Wilson Read more on Last.fm.
