Sung to the tune of "Walk Like an Egyptian" by The Bangles
Horrific histories, hieroglyphics
Walk like an Egyptian
Look at this hieroglyphic
This here reads as "Tutankhamun"
He was a big pharaoh with a mummy that's cool
A curse he put on his grave, so we were told
Horrific histories, hieroglyphics
Walk like an Egyptian
There's a god called Sobek with the body of a croc
He lived down the Nile and ate people whole
Another god was Anubis, who looked after you when dead
Like your undertaker, he'd wrap you up in linen thread
Hieroglyphics, horrific histories
Walk like an Egyptian
The Pyramids at Giza, they were built by the slaves
All for rich dead Pharaohs, who would take their golden calves
Then their builders had to stay dead, just to stop them blabbing
Tutankhamun's tomb was robbed, so his ghost kept on grabbing
Horrific histories, hieroglyphics
Walk like an Egyptian
The kings and queens of ancient Egypt
Lived a life of luxury, but weren't too bright
They didn't know that cats, they weren't really gods
And all the stuff they built, it rotted with the sods
