Lyrics

Walk Like an Egg

I'm just a lonely egg

Peel me down

I'm not afraid

What will we do? [x3]

Walk like an egg

Yankee shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg

C'mon and walk like an egg

Yankee shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg

I'm just a lonely egg, and I'm an egghead

Peel me down and I'm white and naked

Everybody thinks that I'm just a joke

Baby, don't you dare, the joke's on you

Waddling around

Egg is in town

This fellow's gotta waddle

He's hittin' full throttle

I'm just a lonely egg, and I'm an egghead

Peel me down and I'm white and naked

Everybody thinks that I'm just a joke

Baby, don't you dare, the joke is you

[Solo]

Walk like an egg

Yankee shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg

C'mon and walk like an egg

Yankee shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg

Walk like an egg

Yankee shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg

Shake

Can't you walk like an egg?
