Episode Version

The Chipmunks:
All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sun dance, don't you know?
If you move too quick, whoa way oh
They falling down like a domino

All the boys are men by the Nile
We got the money on a bet
Old crocodile, whoa way oh
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with their hookah pipes say
"Way oh, way oh, way oh, way oh"
Walk like an Egyptian

The blond waitress says take their trays
An spin around and they cross the floor
They got the moves, whoa way oh
You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the kids in the marketplace say
"Way oh, way oh, way oh, way oh"
Walk like an Egyptian

Brittany (Jeanette & Eleanor):
All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the (sand dance, don't you know?)
If they move too quick (ah oh, way oh)
They're falling down (like a domino)

All the boys and men by the Nile
They got the money (on a bet)
Old crocodile (ah oh, way oh)
They snap their teeth (on your cigarette)

Foreign types with their hookah pipes say
"Way oh, way oh, oh way oh, way oh"
Walk like an Egyptian

The blond waitress says to take their trays
They spin around (and they cross the floor)
They got the moves (ah oh, way 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 (ah oh, way oh)
They're walking like (an Egyptian)

All the kids in the marketplace say
"Way oh, way oh, oh way oh, way oh"
Walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet up street, bend your back
Shift your arm (and then you call the cops)
Life is hard you know (ah oh, way oh)
So strike a pose (on a Cadillac)

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in (the doughnut shop)
They sing and dance (ah oh, way 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, way oh)
They walk the line (like Egyptian)

All the cops in the doughnut shop say
"Way oh, way oh, oh way oh, way oh"
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
