| Now the king told the boogie men You have to let that raga drop The oil down the desert way Has been shakin' to the top The sheik, he drove his Cadillac He went a-cruisin' down the ville The muezzin was a-standin' On the radiator grille The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah By order of the prophet We ban that boogie sound Degenerate the faithful With that crazy Casbah sound But the Bedouin they brought out The electric camel drum The local guitar picker Got his guitar picking thumb As soon as the shareef Had cleared the square They began to wail The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah Now over at the temple Ooh, they really pack 'em in The in-crowd say it's cool To dig this chanting thing But as the wind changed direction And the temple band took five The crowd caught a whiff Of that crazy Casbah jive The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah The king called up his jet fighters He said "You better earn your pay Drop your bombs between the minarets Down the Casbah way" As soon as the shareef Was chauffeured outta there The jet pilots tuned to The cockpit radio blare As soon as the shareef Was outta their hair The jet pilots wailed The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah The shareef don't like it (He thinks it's not kosher) Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah The shareef don't like it (Fundamentally can't take it) Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah The shareef don't like it (You know he really hates it) Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah | |
