Bangles Walking Down Your Street Lyrics

Walking Down Your Street Lyrics

Walk Like An Egyptian
by The Bangles
All the old paintings on the
tomb
They do the sand dance, don'cha know?
If they move too quick
(Oh-Ah-Oh),
they're falling down like a domino.
And the bazaar man by the
Nile
He got the money on a bet
For the crocodiles (Oh-Ah-Oh),
They snap
their teeth on a cigarette.
Foreign types with their hookah pipes
sing:
Oh-ah-oh-ah-ooo-aaa-ooo-aaa,
Walk like an Egyptian.
The blonde
waitresses take their trays,
Spin around and they cross the
floor.
They've got the moves (Oh-Ah-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-Ah-Oh),
They're walking
like an Egyptian.
All the kids in the marketplace
say:
Oh-ah-oh-ah-ooo-aaa-ooo-aaa,
Walk like an Egyptian.
Line your
feet astreet, bend your back,
Shift your arm, then you pull a clock.
Like
Sergeant O (Oh-Ah-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-Ah-Oh),
They spin their clock and cruise on down the block.
All the
Japanese with their Yen,
The party boys call the Kremlin.
The Chinese
know (Oh-Ah-Oh),
They walk along like Egyptians.
All the cops in the
donut shops say:
Oh-ah-oh-ah-ooo-aaa-ooo-aaa,
Walk like an
Egyptian,
Walk like an Egyptian.
