Walk Like An Egyptian ザ・バングルズ (The Bangles)

歌詞というものは常に明解でわかりやすいとは限りません。曖昧なものもあればおかしいと言ってもいいようなものもあります。
Song lyrics aren't always obvious straightforward.  Some of them are ambiguous and some sound almost ridiculous. 
Walk Like An Egyptian  (The Bangles)


[Verse 1: Vicki Peterson, All]
All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don't you know?
If they move too quick (Oh-way-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-way-oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

[Pre-Chorus: Vicki Peterson, All]
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Way-oh, way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)

[Chorus: Vicki Peterson]
Walk like an Egyptian

[Verse 2: Michael Steele, All]
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around, and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (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 (Oh-way-oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian

[Pre-Chorus: Michael Steele, All]
All the kids in the marketplace say
(Way-oh, way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)

[Chorus: Michael Steele]
Walk like an Egyptian

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3: Susanna Hoffs, All]
Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm, then you pull it back
Life is hard, you know (Oh-way-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-way-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-way-oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian

[Pre-Chorus: Susanna Hoffs, All]
All the cops in the donut shop say
(Way-oh, way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)

[Chorus: Susanna Hoffs]
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
