Egypt here I come


Source: You Tube (tatosha delfina) Key Words: Egyptian Bangles

Walk like an Egyptian - The Bangles

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance, dont you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino.

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got their money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette.

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say:
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian.

The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
They 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 whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian.

All the kids in the market place 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.

Have you ever been to Egypt? What is it like? What do you recommend seeing and doing?

I like this song and I like the music group too.

There are only female in the music group. It's very strange.

I didn't like this group. the song is fanny.

Hi Lucía,

I'm off to Egypt so I thought this song was appropriate.

I suppose this song would get annoying if you heard it regularly.



I like this song and I like the group too.

There are only FEMALES in the music group, WHICH IS very strange.

I didn't like this group BUT THE song is FUNNY.


You start by saying you don't like the group but end your comment saying you like them. Do you understand all the lyrics?

You have been hard at work this weekend - well done!



Thank you very much for your corrections.

Sorry, I meant that "I didn't know thia group" not "I didn't like them". It was a mistake.

Yes, I understood the lyrics but I read it nearly ten days ago and I don't remember them.
