-- If your ukulele is soprano it will sound good, if you use
a concert ukulele try to put a capo in the th or th line -

The chords are easy but the rhythm is tricky because it's quite fast

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
