BLUEGRASS WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN

This makes me smile all the way through - the Cleverly's.


All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't 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 the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Whey 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)
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 whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
All the kids in the marketplace say
(Whey 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)
They 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
(Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian

Not quite like The Bangles version, but sufficiently entertaining. Lol!

Great entertainers! Love the combination of instruments, especially the fiddle. Why aren't they called violins? And where can I get me one o' them skinny cowboy hats like the fiddler is wearing? Would love to go around in one of 'em.

Buster - the fiddle and violin are the same instrument, but usually have different strings to better fit the style of music being played; e.g. classical vs bluegrass, Cajun, etc.

Dint know that. Thanks Douglas E.
