Bangles – Walk Like an Egyptian – 1986

Lyrics

Verse 1

Pharoah’s daughter held a birthday bash
Invited everyone to a sequin splash
There were mummies movin’ and chariots too
A whole lotta cats wearin’ eyeliner, boo

Chorus
Walk like an Egyptian (Walk like an Egyptian)
They do the sand dance, don’t you know (Don’t you know)
If they move too quick (Oh-way-oh)
They fall apart in a little pile (Oh-way-oh)

Verse 2
All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don’t you know?
If they move too quick (Oh-way-oh)
Come alive in a little show (Oh-way-oh)

Chorus
Walk like an Egyptian (Walk like an Egyptian)
They do the sand dance, don’t you know (Don’t you know)
If they move too quick (Oh-way-oh)
They fall apart in a little pile (Oh-way-oh)

Bridge
They drop your drink, then they bring you more
They’re walking like an Egyptian (Walk like an Egyptian)

Chorus
Walk like an Egyptian (Walk like an Egyptian)
They do the sand dance, don’t you know (Don’t you know)
If they move too quick (Oh-way-oh)
They fall apart in a little pile (Oh-way-oh)

Outro
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
Walk like an Egyptian (Walk like an Egyptian)
