[Intro: M.I.A.]

Growin' Up

Growin' Up

Growin' Up

Growin' Up


[Verse 1: Vicki Peterson]

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]

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]

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 the kids in the marketplace say

(Way-oh-way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)


[Chorus: Michael Steele]

Walk like an Egyptian


[Verse 3: Susanna Hoffs]

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 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
